Forget nonfarms — the options market has plenty of other things to keep traders busy. On this episode of The Option Block, Mark Longo, Uncle Mike Tosaw and Henry "The Flowmaster" Schwartz from Cboe break down a surprisingly strong market rally heading into the jobs report, the latest options volume trends, and some unusual activity lighting up the tape. The crew digs into eye-catching options flow in biotech name Alumis (ALMS) and drone maker Draganfly (DPRO), including some intriguing call activity as both names attract attention. They also examine unusual action in Element Solutions (ESI). Plus, we discuss the latest action in VIX, SPY, IWM and QQQ, a red-hot day for names including Robinhood, Palantir, Tesla and NVIDIA, the continued evolution of binary options and prediction markets, and whether unusually favorable options skew is creating opportunities for investors to hedge some high-flying stocks.
Due segnali precisi arrivano dai mercati in questa fine di agosto 2026, e vale la pena capire cosa significano per chi costruisce un portafoglio con gli ETF.L'iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), che replica le small cap statunitensi, ha messo a segno un +21,5% da inizio anno, superando l'S&P 500 nello stesso periodo. Un risultato passato quasi inosservato rispetto ai soliti titoli di testa. Gianluca analizza i fattori dietro questa rotazione, dalla ripresa delle aziende domestiche minori alla ciclicità tipica delle small cap, senza dimenticare la volatilità più elevata che queste portano in dote.Sul fronte materie prime, gli ETF fisici sull'oro registrano afflussi positivi per la quinta settimana consecutiva. Gli investitori continuano ad acquistare nonostante il prezzo superi i 4.500 dollari l'oncia, segno di una domanda strutturale legata all'incertezza macro. Un asset da capire bene prima di inserirlo in portafoglio, costi di gestione inclusi.Ascolta TraDetector Cafe su Spotify e Apple Podcasts e visita tradetector.com per approfondire ogni settimana i mercati con metodo.

On this episode of The Option Block, we dig into the wild action in Moderna (MRNA) following its massive biotech-fueled surge and ask the question on every options trader's mind: Was there any unusual options activity ahead of the big news? The Flowmaster goes back through the MRNA tape looking for clues and weighs in on whether there was any suspiciously well-timed options activity before the stock exploded higher. We also break down the latest action in SPX, VIX, IWM and the broader options market, including a massive VIX upside trade, heavy put activity in the small caps, Walmart's post-earnings selloff, and the latest moves in Micron, Strategy, Tesla, NVIDIA and SpaceX. Plus, we venture into the Odd Block for unusual options activity in Webull (BULL) and biotech name Precigen (PGEN), discuss the renewed strength in gold, silver and crypto, and debate what is really driving the markets right now — AI spending, rates, geopolitics or the looming midterm elections. Featuring Mark Longo, Henry "The Flowmaster" Schwartz from Cboe and Uncle Mike Tosaw from St. Charles Wealth Management.

In today's Daily Editorial, we are joined by Joel Elconin, co-host of the Pre-Market Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network. Joel breaks down the relentless momentum across major stock indices as market averages hit new record territory. We explore whether technical price action supports a continued rally or if tech sector laggards signal caution ahead. Key Discussion Points: Market Momentum & Technical Support: How recent breakouts past historic resistance levels are establishing new technical foundations for the broad market. Intra-Sector Tech Rotation: Why profit-taking in high-flying chipmakers and hyperscalers is feeding capital into other index components rather than triggering broad selloffs. CapEx Spend vs. Earnings Justification: How big tech giants are attempting to validate massive AI capital expenditure and what that means for supplier supply chains. The Post-IPO Life Cycle of SpaceX: Key technical levels, lockup expiration dynamics, and how institutional accumulation typically plays out following initial public offerings.

Amanda Mason is a senior curator of contemporary conflict at the Imperial War Museums, where she previously worked on the museum's acclaimed Secret War gallery. Chris speaks with her about Spies, Lies and Deception, the IWM's major exhibition on espionage and military deception now showing at IWM North in Manchester until August 31. Drawing on more than sixty original objects, documents, and artifacts — from Operation Mincemeat's pocket litter and Noor Inayat Khan's letters from occupied France to the Portland Spy Ring's suburban cover and the Trent Park eavesdropping operation — the exhibition traces deception from the trenches of the First World War through Cold War suburbia to Bellingcat's open-source unmasking of the Salisbury poisoners and today's deepfake threats, asking not just how deception works but what it costs the people who practice it.

In this Daily Editorial, I chat with TG Watkins, Director of Stocks at Simpler Trading and Editor of the Profit Pilot website. The rotation trend continues from mega-cap tech leadership out into a variety of market sectors, and then some sectors that have been under selling pressure, may have found short-term support for tradable rallies. TG provides the technical signals he is watching in tech, biotech, housing, cryptos, gold, copper, critical minerals, and oil. Key Discussion Points Broad Market Expansion: Discover why the current rally is broadening out significantly beyond just mega-cap tech giants, and how the Russell 2000 (IWM) and equal-weight S&P (RSP) are showcasing underlying market strength. Interest Rates & Inflation Outlook: TG shares his contrarian perspective on bonds, and why he is looking to buy dips in the (TLT), in anticipation of neutral rates for now and eventual dovish monetary policy. If rates have topped out for now, then this creates a favorable backdrop for small cap stocks, like Rice Acquisition Corp (KRSP), and consumer stocks with a traditionally higher cost of capital. Strength in Housing Stocks: This environment of peak interest rates that may roll over lower, is also constructive for real estate & housing, where he has noted recent strength in State Street SPDR S&P Homebuilder ETF (XHB), Opendoor Technologies (OPEN), and AirBnB Inc (ABNB). Surging Biotech Stocks: Biotech stocks have been very strong recently, but may be reaching buying exhaustion soon. TG has had his subscribers long the sector since May in ETFs like ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (ARKG), Direxion Shares Daily S&P Biotech Bull 3X ETF (LABU), Tempus AI (TEM), and Intellia Therapeutics (NTLA). The Cryptos Are Seeking Support: From the shifting dynamic of crypto miners into AI power generation to a technical breakdown of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and crypto repositories - find out if a digital asset turnaround is on the horizon. We look at the cryptos themselves like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and crypto-adjacent equities like MicroStrategy (MSTR), TeraWulf (WULF), Iris Energy (IREN), Galaxy Digital (GLXY). Precious Metals Have Only Provided Bounces In Downtrends: An in-depth look at where Gold (GLD), Silver (SLV), and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) might find technical support, after breaking down through key moving averages the last few months. Thus far all we've seen is relief rallies in broader PM downtrends. Copper Has Been Rangebound: When contrasted against many metals, Copper and copper stocks have been more resilient, but have been in a whipsaw trendless market over the last few weeks. TG has sold out of copper stocks like Trekor Metals Ltd {formerly Taseko}, (TGB) and Southern Copper Corp (SCCO) until he sees more solid technical evidence of a break and trend in one direction or another. Critical Minerals Overbought and Taking A Breather: After outsized moves this year, the narrative adjustment in AI datacenters and media focus, has seen the critical minerals stocks roll over after getting overbought on the charts. The VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF (REMX) and lithium and energy storage leaders like Albemarle Corp ALB have been rolling over after solid runs in 2026. Oil Was A Short A Few Weeks Back, But May See A Bounce: TG noted the geopolitical effects on the oil price, after the MOU was signed between the US and Iran ending the hot war, but sees oil as technically oversold at this point. The technically oversold setup is similar in the State Street Energy Select Sector Index SPDR ETF (XLE), where a short-term relief rally would not be a surprise.

In this Daily Editorial on The KE Report, I chat with Joel Elconin, Co-Founder of the Pre-Market Prep Show and Founder of the Stock Trader Network, to discuss the “violent rotation trade” underneath the surface of the US equity markets. His big takeaway lately has been that “leaders have turned into laggards, and the laggards have now turned into leaders.” We picked it up where we left off last week where Micron Technology (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK) had blasted up after a nice earnings beat, but then dropped precipitously this week. Micron got “Broadcom'ed” by the market… Joel points out that initially Broadcom (AVGO) had rallied on its earnings, before then getting taken out to the woodshed and beaten down over the last month. There have been pockets of strength lately, due to a rotation trade out of MAG-7 leadership and out into select financial stocks, consumer staples, mixed retail, utilities, biotech (XBI), healthcare (XLV), but Joel advised caution in chasing these sectors much higher. Another laggard trade, that has morphed into a leader trade has the been the small cap stocks as evidenced by the move in the Russell 2000 (IWM) for the last year, and picking up pace over the last few months. We discussed that some stocks, like Intel Corp (INTC), with a current forward PE ratio over 150, are making upside moves that normally take years in just a matter of days and weeks; and thus, their valuations are now priced to perfection far out into the future. His concern is the eventual assertion of gravity in the markets, where valuations actually start to matter again. Oil prices have collapsed since the MOU was signed between the US and Iran, which is a bright spot for consumers and businesses alike, and it should help with the inflation readings moving forward. However, Joel points out that if the WTI prices drop even lower and the trends shift over into a deflationary cycle, then that could roil the markets. When probed about the potential rotation from growth into value in that kind of a scenario, Joel highlighted that this is what we are already starting to see under the surface of these markets, and that happens later in the cycle when traders get into a more defensive posture. Joel flagged that his biggest concern at present is that the markets are content to focus on the benefits of the rotation trade, but if money quits pulling out of one asset class and plowing right back into another and instead just goes to the sidelines, then things could also morph into a “sell everything” market in the 2nd half of the year. For this reason, his posture and general outlook is moving from neutral to bearish looking ahead to the balance of 2026.

The markets turned blood red today, but the options tape is still lighting up! Join Mark Longo as he breaks down a macro-focused session where single-name volume took a slight breather, but the underlying volatility remained fast and furious. We head over to TheHotOptionsReport.com to unpack today's featured 1K Spread scan, flagging 71 massive non-index spreads with Netflix, XLF, and IWM leading the charge. Then, we countdown the top 10 most active underlying equities of the day, including: Palantir (#10) & Intel (#8): Checking out aggressive short-term call selling after a rough session. Microsoft (#9) & Amazon (#5): The tech giants bucking the red trend to post impressive rallies. Micron (#6): Taking a massive 13% drubbing ahead of earnings. Are the $1100 calls a buy or sell? SpaceX (#3): The rollercoaster continues! We break down the newly added weekly options and the heavy premium on the Friday $160 calls. Tesla (#2) & NVIDIA (#1): Tesla sheds nearly 6%, while NVIDIA pins exactly at the $200.00 par line. Want to run your own unusual activity scans? Head over to TheHotOptionsReport.com to build your own watchlists and track the tape.
On today's episode, host Mark Longo and the all-star panel break down a fascinating "ho-hum" macro day that is hiding massive, wild swings under the surface of individual single-name equities. First, the crew tests their wits with an official geography question from a 1980s Trivial Pursuit deck that leaves everyone questioning the data. Then, Mike Tosaw and Andrew Giovinazzi dive deep into the trading floor to look at the massive rotation into small caps (IWM), unusual vertical action in September VIX options, and why the tech giants (MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN) are shedding serious weight from their recent all-time highs while AI chip darlings like SanDisk (WDC) and Micron (MU) steal all the oxygen in the room. On the Trading Block & Odd Block: SpaceX Tears: Andrew's mama, Mama Lobster, is in mourning as SpaceX plunges roughly 11% in a single session. Is the air coming out of the IPO bubble, or is the premium vastly underpriced for single-leg buyers? Biotech Calls (ERAS): Heavy upside call buying hits the October 20 lines for Erasca Inc. Andrew breaks down why this early-stage oncology player is seeing big institutional accumulation. Pizza Puts (PZZA): Massive volume hits the August 25 puts for Papa John's. The panel breaks down why the entire restaurant and fast-food sector is getting squeezed eight ways from Sunday. Fiserv (FI): The continuation of the massive July 40 put saga. Is paper finally getting assigned on this "stair-step" downward trend? The Strategy Block: Mike Tosaw breaks his own golden rule of spreading to discuss why the extreme volatility and massive price extensions in SpaceX make a rare, compelling case for buying single-leg options instead of spreads.

Is the air coming out of the IPO bubble, or is the premium vastly underpriced for single-leg buyers? Biotech Calls (ERAS): Heavy upside call buying hits the October 20 lines for Erasca Inc. Andrew breaks down why this early-stage oncology player is seeing big institutional accumulation. Pizza Puts (PZZA): Massive volume hits the August 25 puts for Papa John's. The panel breaks down why the entire restaurant and fast-food sector is getting squeezed eight ways from Sunday. Fiserv (FI): The continuation of the massive July 40 put saga. Is paper finally getting assigned on this "stair-step" downward trend? The Strategy Block: Mike Tosaw breaks his own golden rule of spreading to discuss why the extreme volatility and massive price extensions in SpaceX make a rare, compelling case for buying single-leg options instead of spreads.
