In this case it's because I hold these +puts and was a bit discombobulated as to why they were + when the SP was +
I have seen though, that the price of options moves prior to the SP, see it with TSLA all the time, but it's a bit more subtle than what I saw with NVDA today
I guess the obvious explanation is the tail wagging the dog, where the options market is dictating the stock price, no, really, say it ai't so, Mo!
Otherwise, my general disposition is that although there's profits in NVDA and SMCI, for an old dog like myself, it's hard spinning three plates at once, while I'm jiggling one, the other two are wobbling and one falls and breaks... so maybe better to keep the eye on a single ball on the future, once these have played out
