Palantir Shares Tumble 7%, as Investors Seek Insurance Against Slump $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ shares tumbled 7.3%, signaling mounting investor worries over heightened competition from AI that have fueled increasing demand for put options used by many as insurance against a sustained slump. Open interest, or the tally of outstanding put options stood at 1.76 million contracts, bigger than the 1.69 million outstanding call options, according to exchange data tracked. The term structure is severely inverted, with the implied volatility for contracts expiring April 10 spiking above 70% before collapsing toward 58% next week, then popping again into May. That could be seen by some as a sign of

Nvidia Has Gained Some Ground After Falling For Months. What Its Chart Says Now $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ has fallen some 16% from its October high, but rebounded some 7% in recent days and is still up about 80% over the past 12 months even though it's trading lower Tuesday. Let's check out what its chart shows us. Now, I see Nvidia at a crossroads technically. It's done little more than move sideways since last July, but let's look at its daily chart going back some 14 months and running through Thursday afternoon (April 2): We will see that NVDA rallied from March 2025 until it hit a $212.19 all-time intraday high on Oct. 29. But since then, the stock has developed a descending-triangle pattern of bearish reversal
Micron Jumps, $11M Options Trade Says This Move Isn't Over Against a backdrop of ongoing Middle East tensions and elevated oil price volatility, the broader market remains in a “high uncertainty + high volatility” regime, with risk appetite yet to fully recover. Within this environment, however, structural opportunities are beginning to emerge in the tech sector—particularly in storage. Following the demand shock triggered by $Alphabet(GOOG)$ $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ 's TurboQuant, which raised concerns about reduced memory needs, the sector has rebounded for several consecutive sessions, entering a typical "expectation repair
Why Samsung's Big Q1 Surprise Matters for Storage Stocks Key Takeaways – Samsung just pre-announced about KRW 133 trillion of Q1 revenue and KRW 57.2 trillion of operating profit, far above market expectations for roughly KRW 40.5 trillion to KRW 40.6 trillion of operating profit. – For U.S. stocks, the cleanest read-through is Micron, because Samsung's beat points to strong AI memory demand and tight pricing in DRAM and HBM. – The rally can also spill into Sandisk, Western Digital, and Seagate, though those names sit in different parts of the storage stack and should not be treated as the exact same trade. – The big risk is simple: storage is still a cyclical industry, so strong pricing today can turn into demand damage or oversupply later if AI spending slows or custome

Sandisk Sees Bullish Trades Amid Stock's 200+% YTD Rally $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ saw smart money pour more than $10 million in bullish call option trade Monday as the stock extends this year's rally to more than 200%, buoyed by strong demand for its storage devices amid the rapid growth in artificial intelligence workloads. An active buyer purchased call options that give their holder the right to buy 188,000 Sandisk shares at $750 each in the next 18 days, signaling optimism that the stock could further climb from its current level of $720.30. That block trade came as the implied volatility (IV), which measures the market's expectations in share price changes using variables including option premiums, reached 109% Monday, while th
The S&P 500 Broke Its 200-Day MA. What Its Chart Says Now The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ has been rebounding recently after the key index broke its 200-day Simple Moving Average and hit a nearly seven-month low in recent days. Let's see what its chart says might happen next. The S&P 500's Fundamental Analysis The entire ball game for U.S. equities has changed rather quickly as hopes have risen somewhat for an end to both the Iran War and Big Tech's recent sell-off. First, The Wall Street Journal reported last week that U.S. President Donald Trump had told those around him he'd be willing to end America's Iran operation even if the key Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Trump also publicly said the U.S. mil
