The Hot Options Report: 04-13-26


Listen Later

Markets are heating up this Monday as geopolitical tensions and massive tech rallies collide. In this episode of the Hot Options Report, Mark Longo breaks down a wild session where Tesla (TSLA) reclaimed its throne at the top of the options leaderboard with 2.84 million contracts traded.

Despite whispers of a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz driving oil past $100, the equity options tape remained focused on high-growth tech and massive individual movers. We dive into the unusual activity fueling Oracle's (ORCL) 12% surge, the parabolic "rampage" in Intel (INTC), and the last-minute expirations that left some paper "sweating" in Nvidia (NVDA) and Microsoft (MSFT).

Inside This Episode:
  • The Lucky 7 Scan: A deep dive into PG&E (PCG), Repligen (REPL), and the SPDR S&P Bank ETF (KBE)—names where volume exploded to 7x their daily average.

  • Tesla's Dominance: How the 355-strike calls became the hottest ticket in the market as TSLA pushed toward $353.

  • Big Tech Breakdown: * Micron (MU): Why paper is betting on a run to $450 by the end of the week.

    • Intel (INTC): With the stock up 65% year-to-date, are traders finally stepping in front of the freight train?

    • Oracle (ORCL): Breaking down the 644,000 contracts that followed today's double-digit breakout.

  • Ouchie of the Day: A look at the Meta (META) and Apple (AAPL) 0DTE (zero days to expiration) plays that went down to the wire.
