NVIDIA Sees $13.5M in Unusual Options Activity Led by a Massive Deep-In-the-Money Call
NVIDIA Corporation is drawing attention in the options market today, with five unusual contracts flagging across calls and puts totaling $13,494,780 in combined premium. The dominant signal is a single deep-in-the-money call at the $70 strike expiring in December 2027, carrying $13,236,030 in premium on its own. Shares are trading at $194.64 on Friday, June 26, 2026, down 0.56% on the session, sitting within a 52-week range of $142.03 to $236.54.Key Drivers of the NVDA Stock Move
- Main Catalyst: Five unusual options contracts were flagged today totaling $13,494,780 in premium. A single CALL at the $70 strike expiring December 17, 2027 accounts for $13,236,030 of that total, with a size of 1,020 contracts and open interest representation of just 22%. Two PUT contracts at the $170 strike expiring July 31, 2026 were also flagged, totaling $207,893.30 in premium across 1,367 contracts combined. Two ATM CALL contracts at the $195 strike expiring today, June 26, 2026, round out the activity at $50,857 in combined premium.
- Bull Case: The $70 strike December 2027 call is deeply in the money with shares at $194.64, and the $13.2 million in premium committed to that single contract suggests a large institutional player is establishing or adding to a long-dated leveraged position in NVIDIA with a multi-year horizon. The two same-day $195 calls expiring today also indicate traders were positioning for a modest upside move into the close.
- Bear Case: The two $170 put contracts expiring July 31, 2026 represent a near-term downside bet roughly 12.6% below the current price. With open interest readings of 55% and 72%, these contracts are landing on strikes where existing positioning is already concentrated, suggesting this level is being actively defended or targeted as a downside objective over the next five weeks.
