In this episode of The Hot Options Report, host Mark Longo breaks down a "weird and wild" Thursday session. As the broader markets feel the heat, the options tape is flashing some highly unusual signals—specifically a massive wave of deep in-the-money (ITM) puts across major tech and energy names.

On the Docket Today:

• Micron Earnings Carnage: Did the "500-strike dream" for Micron (MU) turn into a nightmare? We analyze the post-earnings fallout and what those expiring calls mean for the tape.

• The Scan of the Day: We dive into the "Hidden Figure" scan, identifying stealthy, near-dated institutional flow in Nvidia (NVDA), Comcast (CMCSA), and Bank of America (BAC).

• The ITM Put Mystery: Why are traders flooding the tape with deep ITM puts in Meta, Amazon, and Apple? Is this a massive move to get long stock at specific levels, or a unique hedging regime?

• Energy on Fire: With oil markets literally heating up, we look at the newcomer to our Top 10, Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ).

• The Top 10 Countdown: From the "Monster" (MSTR) to Nvidia reclaiming the top spot, we track the volume leaders and the specific strikes moving the needle.
