AI Trade Report Fri 5/8/26 ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ“ˆ
Market Overview ๐ŸŒ
The market is showing targeted momentum today, with the Nasdaq leading the charge higher. Volatility (VIX) has cooled off slightly to just under 19โ€”it's still a bit elevated, but we aren't seeing any immediate red flags or structural panic.
Top Directional Setups ๐Ÿงญ
Based on our trend and momentum alignment, here is where the data shows the highest probability edges today:
  • ๐ŸŸข Strong Bullish: GOOGL, NVDA, CSCO, NET
  • ๐Ÿ”ด Strong Bearish: TLT, NFLX
The Options Playbook ๐ŸŽฒ
As traders, we don't guess; we play the math and volatility. Here is how we are attacking the options board today based on whether options are currently "expensive" (high volatility) or "cheap" (low volatility).
๐Ÿ”ฅ Sell Premium (Options are expensive โ€” we want to be sellers):
Volatility is high on these tickers, making them prime candidates for selling puts or covered calls to collect premium and let the "volatility crush" work in our favor.
  • Targets: AMD, CVX, FCX, IAU, KO, MSFT, NBIS, NET, NVDA
๐ŸงŠ Buy Premium (Options are cheap + strong trend โ€” we want to be buyers):
These tickers have strongly aligned bullish or bearish trends, and their options are currently priced exceptionally low. This is where we want to buy calls or puts for a high Expected Value (EV) payout.
  • Bullish Buys: AMZN, CSCO, GOOGL, META
  • Bearish Buys: NFLX, TLT
Key Stock Spotlights ๐Ÿ”ฆ
  • Cisco (CSCO): We are seeing massive bullish flow ahead of their earnings report next week (May 13). Wall Street is aggressively upgrading them due to surging AI infrastructure orders. Because their option prices are still incredibly cheap right now, this is a top-tier setup for buying bullish premium.
  • NET & NBIS: Both of these names are seeing extreme volatility spikes right now. The mathematical edge here dictates that we shouldn't guess the directionโ€”instead, sell the expensive premium on both sides and let the elevated volatility collapse.
Stick to the math, trade the probabilities, and let the edge play out! โ™ ๏ธ
