According to The Kobeissi Letter, put option volumes for the Magnificent 7 tech stocks surged significantly starting at 2 PM ET today, with $33 million in puts purchased by market close. For the first time this week, puts outpaced calls in these major technology stocks, signaling increased bearish sentiment among institutional investors (source: The Kobeissi Letter on Twitter, May 15, 2025). This shift in sentiment is critical for crypto traders, as heightened volatility and risk aversion in big tech often spill over into the cryptocurrency market, potentially driving short-term price swings and increased demand for hedging instruments.

According to The Stock Sniper (@Ultra_Calls), a surge in TSLA 6/20 options call alerts is being observed, signaling heightened bullish sentiment among options traders (source: Twitter, May 9, 2025). This options activity is relevant for traders as Tesla remains one of the most influential tech stocks with close ties to the crypto market, notably through its historical Bitcoin holdings and its indirect influence on market sentiment. Increased options volume can lead to higher volatility in TSLA shares, which may impact crypto-linked equities and trading strategies that correlate with tech sector momentum. Traders should monitor TSLA price action and options flow for potential spillover effects on crypto-related stocks.
