The Hot Options Report: 01-06-2026


Listen Later

Kick off the first full week of 2026 with a deep dive into a wild day on the options tape. In this episode of the Hot Options Report, Mark Longo breaks down the top 10 most active products, headlined by a massive breakout in Micron (MU) and a significant "dark side" shift in Tesla (TSLA).

While the broader market saw mixed action, the semiconductor space stole the show. We analyze why Micron popped 10% to close near $344 and what the heavy activity in the 350 calls suggests for the rest of the week. Meanwhile, Tesla bulls took a breather as volume flooded into the 430 puts following a 4% sell-off.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The Semiconductor Slugfest: Nvidia vs. Tesla for the #1 spot.

  • Micron's Moonshot: Breaking down the 619,000 contracts and the $350 call interest.

  • Tesla Sentiment Shift: From $500 calls to $430 puts—is the "dark side" taking over?

  • The Tech Round-up: Unusual activity in Palantir (PLTR), AMD, Apple (AAPL), and Amazon (AMZN).

  • SoFi's Slump: Analyzing the 8% drop and the volume at the $27 strike.
