The Hot Options Report: 04-22-2026

Join Mark Longo from the Options Insider Radio Network for a deep dive into an explosive day in the options market. While the total volume required to crack the Top 10 remained under the half-million mark, the individual price action was anything but quiet. In this episode, we break down: The Big Tech Surge: Massive rallies in AMD (+$19), Micron (+$38), and MicroStrategy (+$15) as semiconductor and AI demand continues to defy gravity. Tesla Earnings Watch: A surprisingly quiet session for $TSLA ahead of its Q1 2026 earnings release, but the after-hours action is already telling a different story. Apple's CEO Transition: How the market reacted to the news of Tim Cook stepping down as CEO and the appointment of John Ternus. Nvidia's Pinning Action: $NVDA closes right on the $202.50 strike, creating a headache for both long and short option holders. Scanning the Alpha: We look at the "MA 200 Plus" scan, featuring massive triple-digit moves in $BEEM, $AGPU, and $GNLN. Whether you're tracking the "pars" in AMD or the zero-day volatility in Microsoft, we have the flow, the strikes, and the strategy covered.
