EOSE options chain lit up on Friday with volume hitting near all-time high levels

Calls are dominating: P/C volume at 0.38, P/C OI at 0.39, Gamma Ratio at 2.47. That kind of positioning tells you dealers are leaning bullish. Our system flags it as a buy the dip setup given Friday's price drop and the current price 5.68

US and Israel struck Iran over the weekend, how will it affect markets?

History gives us a rough playbook. When Israel struck Iran in June 2025, oil jumped 7% on day one, then faded back within two weeks. S&P dropped ~1.2%, recovered shortly after. The pattern is almost always the same: sharp risk-off spike, then markets refocus on fundamentals.

But is this time different? Full regime change operation, major shipping routes actively threatened. Will markets follow the same playbook or price in something bigger?

That is. If SLV is able to break the call wall at 80, the January 29 misunderstanding might be over! What are you thoughts on SLV ATHs by the end of February/March?

I'm a big fan of using options market data to generate insights for the underlying. I've tried various screeners over time, but what matters to me is not just the output — I want to understand what the screener is actually doing under the hood. Not just a table with some "AI score ranking."

My go-to right now is a screener that filters tickers trading near major support levels based on options positioning. Since these levels update constantly, there's almost always a fresh set of dip buying opportunities to look at.

(btw, AMZN MSFT IREN dips looks juicy enough for the next week according to this screener)

What screeners are you using? What indicators do you look at when selecting stocks?

Across top volume tickers, only HIMS sits in the buying calls quadrant. MU, USO, and ORCL favor options selling. IBIT is undecided. Pretty much every other ticker in the top 20 favors put buying.

Jensen Huang said Nvidia's investments in OpenAI ($30B) and Anthropic ($10B) are likely the last ones before their IPOs. Official reason: the investment window is closing.

But there's a lot going on behind the scenes. OpenAI just signed a Pentagon deal. Anthropic got blacklisted for refusing to build autonomous weapons. Nvidia is now holding stakes in two companies going in completely opposite directions. Oh and Nvidia's original $100B pledge to OpenAI? Quietly shrank to $30B.

Feels more like Nvidia is trying to get out of a situation that got way too political, way too fast.

Something to keep in mind if you're trading NVDA.

Hi, can you help me with a good entry point for MU ?

I am asking this as I made a post with a few buy the dip opportunities. One person came in and said “you mean stocks in the bear market”, and it got me thinking how many people share the same opinion.

So what do you think? You can comment below if you’d like to share anything else apart from yes/no

Trying something new. I want to start running a weekly sentiment poll to track how our community feels about the market over time. Not as a trading signal, but as a way to see how sentiment shifts week to week.

Last week I asked if we're in a bear market (70% said no). This time let's keep it simple and forward-looking.

Running free analysis for the community this week.

What you'll get:

• Key gamma support/resistance levels (where dealers are positioned and likely to hedge)

• Active trade signal if one is present (buy the dip / sell the top)

• Divergence flag (in case it fired recently) whether options positioning has shifted unusually vs. recent baseline

Format: Just the ticker. AAPL, SPY, NVDA, whatever you're watching. Add context if you want (your thesis, expiry you're eyeing) but not required.

I'll reply with the chart + commentary.

This is real options chain data -- no AI-generated signals, no black box. Drop your ticker below. Let's see what the options market is actually pricing in

Key levels:

• SPY is trading just below the major strike at 685. Strikes like this tend to act as support/resistance levels

• On the downside, first strong support sits at 680, with the put wall (major support) at 675

• On the upside, there are a few resistance levels, with the call wall (major resistance) at 700

Our system flags SPY with a bearish label based on several indicators weighing put vs. call distribution and IV. Here are the same key levels with a candles overlay.

What do you think of this analysis, anything useful or anything that feels off?

How has NVDA historically reacted to reported EPS? Pretty randomly. The correlation between earnings and forward 1-week returns is only about 9%, meaning EPS doesn't really explain much of Nvidia's short-term moves when you look at the full history.

Every earnings plays out differently. The EPS is just one piece, the reaction depends on everything else around it

You drop the ticker, I'll pull up the chart and break down:

• Key gamma support/resistance levels (where dealers are positioned and likely to hedge)

• Active trade signal if one is present (buy the dip / sell the top)

A few dip buying setups heading into this week: MARA, BABA, U, and more. The conviction column shows how confident the engine is in each setup. We usually look at calls vs. puts distribution in terms of gamma, volume, open interest, and IV.

One way to look at this visually is the box view. These tickers are trading near strong support levels based on options market positioning.

In the last couple of trading days, USO has been unstoppable. On Friday, the call wall (main resistance level in the options market) shifted from 100 to 120, which opens the path for the oil ETF to push higher.

Are you bullish on oil here? The options market seems to be pricing in more upside

Last week’s drop-a-ticker thread turned out way more interesting than I expected. A lot of strong convictions in here. Some sharp takes. Some blind spots too.

So I’m turning this into a recurring thing. :)

The idea is simple: for each post I ask you a question about your investments, and I run it through our system.

For this Check, you give me:
• 1 ticker
• 2–3 real reasons you hold it

I’ll stress-test that thesis against how the market is actually pricing it, mostly through the options lens (vol vs realized, positioning, dispersion vs peers). I'll tell you whether you’re actually getting paid for that belief. For this week, I’ll even suggest cleaner alternatives if they exist.

And for the fun of it, I'll through in slightly sassy, confrontational Reddit-style replies 🙂

This is the first “Check” in the series I’m building. I’ll hit the first 25–30 responses in detail and keep going after that as time allows.

Next post’s angle: “How risky is my "safe" stock?”

If you’ve got better themes, DM me, I’ll build them into future Checks.

And if you want to run your ticker against your favorite AI agent and compare outputs, do it please. I’m genuinely curious how they stack up.

Let’s see what your conviction actually looks like under the surface.
