The Hot Options Report: 10-12-2026

NVIDIA's top options trade today was a large January 150/100 put spread, an unusual longer-dated bearish bet amid broader 0DTE option decay.

  • NVIDIA tops chain with Jan puts: 280,000 January 150 puts (avg $0.64) plus 270,000 January 100 puts (avg $0.53) suggest a 50-point put spread betting on a steep NVDA decline by January expiry; stock closed at $226.32, down ~1.3%.
  • Same-day options mostly expired worthless: Hot 0DTE options in AMD, Microsoft, Amazon, Intel, SpaceX, Micron, Apple, Meta and Tesla all finished out of the money despite some intraday moves toward their strikes.
