It's the first full trading week of 2026, and the options tape is heating up! In this episode of the Hot Options Report, Mark Longo breaks down the top 10 most active names lighting up the chains. While Nvidia continues its dominance as the volume king, a massive 8% jump in Intel (INTC) stole the show following its CES 2026 manufacturing breakthroughs.

We dive into the order flow for the "Double-Digit Million" club and the names struggling to hold their ground, including a deep dive into Tesla (TSLA) and AMD sell-offs.

  • The Volume Leader: Nvidia (NVDA) hits nearly 2M contracts—are the 190 calls a trap or a target?

  • The CES Catalyst: Intel (INTC) rallies 6.5% on "18A" tech news with heavy call action at the 46 strike.

  • Big Tech Fade: Why Apple (AAPL) and AMD are seeing opening paper hit the bid.

  • The Long Game: Someone is betting big on Alphabet (GOOGL) with massive June 430 calls.
