【July 9th US Stock Options Leaderboard】
$NVIDIA (NVDA)$ daily bullish trading reached $175 million, with a net buy of approximately $6 million; 30-day implied volatility at 36.3%, IV Rank at 7.7%. As the market cap first touches $4 trillion, historically low IV suggests there is still room for “Gamma catch-up” in the future.
$Oracle (ORCL)$ Call:Put trading volume reached as high as 815:1, yet there was a net sell of $22.89 million in Calls, a typical “high position selling Calls to collect Theta” hedge. After the stock price hit new highs, the volatility surface continues to rise; if Gamma declines again, a technical cooling window may be approaching.
$Palantir (PLTR)$ September 2025 140 Call single transaction of $65.69 million crowned; after doubling in price this year, it continues to set new highs, with a P/S of about 114× causing valuation discrepancies; on the options side, positions were locked in before a rise, volatility is climbing, and a short-term high volatility sideways pattern may be entering, with diagonal convergence strategies worth paying attention to.
Overall, the enthusiasm for AI remains strong, but the mismatch between valuation and volatility is becoming increasingly apparent. For more details, see the poster, and feel free to share your insights in the comments!
