AAPL – Aiming for $215 and $220 Apple closed around $212.33, and call buyers have been busy. The biggest volumes are stacked at the $215 and $220 strikes for this Friday. That’s a strong sign bulls are looking for a continued climb. Some minor put activity shows light hedging near $210, but nothing heavy enough to slow momentum. If the rally holds, $215–220 looks like the short-term zone to beat.
PLTR – Holding Steady Around $130 Palantir is sticking close to $130, and the flow suggests it’ll likely chop between $127 and $133 this week. There’s heavy call activity at $130–135, with put volume more defensive between $125–130. Nothing in the data screams panic — it’s a wait-and-see setup, but with solid support under the current price.
NVDA – Stuck Around $135, But Bulls Are Watching $140 Nvidia’s flow is centered right at $135, matching its current price. Calls at $135 and $140 are seeing massive interest, hinting at possible upside if momentum kicks in. Light put activity between $130–133 shows little fear from traders. If NVDA can break above $137, $140 could come fast — but for now, it looks like a sideways drift near $135.
MSFT – Leading the Pack Toward $460 Microsoft looks like the strongest of the group. It’s pushing near $453, and call flow shows heavy interest all the way to $460. There’s barely any put volume to speak of, which tells you sentiment is very bullish. If tech strength continues, MSFT could easily make a run to $460 — possibly more. This flow looks like a melt-up in progress.
Bottom Line: After a bullish stretch, traders aren’t taking their foot off the gas. Key levels like $215 for AAPL, $130 for PLTR, $135 for NVDA, and $455–460 for MSFT are where the action is. Momentum is still on the bulls’ side, and unless something shifts fast, these names look like they’re setting up for another leg higher.
