The Hot Options Report: 01-26-26

We kick off the trading week by breaking down a "light" but high-impact session on the options tape. Despite a lower overall volume day, the big stories are in AI infrastructure and critical minerals. We dive into Nvidia's (NVDA) massive $2 billion investment in CoreWeave (CRWV) and the resulting volatility in the options chain. On the Countdown Today: #1 Nvidia (NVDA): We see light volume but heavy action in the $190 calls. #2 Tesla (TSLA): We track paper shifting from the $450s to the $440 calls—is overriding the play? #3 Apple (AAPL): We break down a massive May $285 call print suggesting a long-term bullish flyer. #9 CoreWeave (CRWV): We analyze the $110 call frenzy following the Nvidia news. #8 USA Rare Earth (USAR): We let the audience weigh in on the Feb $25 puts after a government-backed jump. Plus, we look ahead to a blockbuster earnings week featuring Meta, Microsoft, and the return of meme-king GameStop (GME) to the top 5. Access your own options data at  TheHotOptionsReport.com .
