An options strategy that gives traders Nvidia upside while generating income as they wait
I was asked about selling covered calls on Nvidia (NVDA) , which just hit all-time highs and an eye-watering $3.765 trillion market capitalization. Selling covered calls is an investment strategy that maintains some upside exposure while generating income from selling option premiums. When contemplating the sale of covered calls, an investor must answer two key questions: Is one's thesis regarding the anticipated price behavior neutral to mildly bullish, which is generally the ideal setup for covered call selling? If it is, what call provides a suitable balance of risk and reward? I'll try to address the second, more general question regarding covered calls with ideas relevant to selling covered calls first, before delving into the specifics of Nvidia. Based on industry best practices, NVDA's characteristics, and your objectives, the following delta and tenor are recommended: Choosing a strike One way to identify a suitable strike is by using an options delta. A call option's delta can be used as a market-implied approximation of the probability that the stock will be higher than the strike price as of the option's expiration date, thus expiring "in-the-money." Peak profits for a covered call are achieved if the underlying stock appreciates up to, but not through, the strike of the call that is sold. The investor thus benefits from all the capital appreciation in the underlying stock, while retaining the premium from the call that is sold without sacrificing any gains or selling the underlying shares. Using this approach to estimate the likelihood, an out-of-the-money 25 delta call has a 25% probability of expiring "in the money" and therefore a 75% probability of expiring out of the money, or worthless. Choosing an option expiration or 'tenor' The ideal expiration, or "tenor," will capture relatively high time decay, or "theta," while maintaining some time to effectively manage a position while capturing or avoiding potential catalysts that the investor believes could help (or hurt) the position. Empirical studies across a broad array of underlying factors identified expirations of ~30-45 days as offering a suitable balance of risk, reward, decay and manageability. These are the Nvidia options that best align with our criteria: July 25 165 calls, 6.9% OTM. 27 delta, 30 days to expiration $2.45 ~19% annualized July 25 167.50 calls, 8.5% OTM 23 delta, 30 days to expiration $1.85 ~15% annualized Aug. 1 167.5 calls, 8.5% OTM 27 delta, 37 days to expiration, $2.70 ~17% annualized Aug. 1 170 calls, 10.2% OTM 22 delta, 37 days to expiration $2.10 or ~13% annualized yield Nvidia specific considerations Volatility : NVDA's IV is elevated due to its AI-driven rally and market leadership. This increases premiums but also the risk of sharp price moves, including those through the strike of a covered call — which is generally not a desirable outcome. The 22-27 delta strikes in the examples above mitigate this by selecting strikes slightly further out of the money (OTM). You'll observe that the calls offering the lowest annualized yield, the Aug. 1 weekly 170 calls, also provide the most room for potential capital appreciation in the stock, at 10.2%, and the highest probability of expiring worthless, at 78%. This is not a coincidence. The trade-off for higher yield is a higher probability that one caps the upside due to capital appreciation. Earnings risk : NVDA's next earnings are due late August. A 30–45-day tenor expiring in mid-to-late July helps avoid earnings volatility, thereby reducing the risk of a post-earnings price drop. Market correlation : NVDA's beta (~1.5–2.0) indicates that it tends to move more than the S & P 500. If SPY encounters resistance at $613, NVDA could pull back or consolidate, making OTM calls less likely to be exercised. Recent Performance : NVDA's 1-month gain (+14.2%) and 1-year gain (+24.8% from $124.65 in June 2024) indicate strong momentum, but your view of other stocks catching up supports a conservative delta to avoid early assignment. My choice among these would be the August 1st 167.50s, which strike (pardon the pun) a reasonably conservative balance between yield and upside over the next six-plus weeks, and avoid earnings.

Higher Implied Volatility points to wider price swings
The support level fell by 1,200 points to 22,800PE, while the resistance level remained at 26,000CE for a second consecutive week. The 26,000CE has highest Call OI followed by 25,000/ 25,500/ 25,700/ 25,200/ 25,300/ 25,100/ 25,900 strikes, while 25,000/ 24,800/ 25,700/ 25,800 strikes recorded reasonable to heavy build-up of Call OI. Few OTM strikes in the 25,950-26,150 range witnessed moderate Call OI fall. Implied Volatility (IV) of 22,800PE, which holds the highest Put OI base, rose to 29.72, while the IV was marginally up at 26,000CE, which has a maximum Call OI base. Coming to the Put side, maximum Put OI is seen at 22,800PE followed by 23,500/ 24,000/ 23,000/ 22,850/ 23,800/ 24,300/ 24,100/ 24,400/ 24,500/ 24,600 strikes. Further, 22,800/ 23,000/ 23,500/ 23,800/ 24,000/ 24,500/ 24,600 strikes posted moderate to reasonable addition of Put OI. ITM strikes in the 24,800-25,700 range suffered minute Put OI decline. Dhirender Singh Bisht, associate vice-president (technical research-equity) at SMC Global Securities Ltd, said: 'From the derivatives front, marginal Open Interest addition was seen by option writers in absence of any clear direction. Maximum Open Interest in Calls was seen at 25,000 strike, while marginal Put writing was observed at 24,600 & 24,500 strikes.' 'Indian markets ended lower in the week gone by on the back of weak global cues. The knee jerk reaction was seen largely due to sharp rise in crude oil prices as geopolitical tensions rose in the Middle East. However, a moderation in CPI inflation helped limit the downside,' observed Bisht. For the week ended June 13, 2025, BSE Sensex closed at 81,118.60 points, a net fall of 1,070.39 points or 1.30 per cent, from the previous week's (June 6) closing of 82,188.99 points. NSE Nifty too moved down by 284.45 points or 1.13 per cent to 24,718.60 points from 25,003.05 points a week ago. Bisht forecasts: 'On the technical front, Nifty slipped below its short-term moving average (20DEMA) once again, but witnessed a swift rebound after testing the lower end of the recent consolidation range (24,500–25,200). This suggests a possibility of continued consolidation in the index. For the upcoming week, Nifty is likely to remain in range once again and witness a phase of consolidation within a broader range of 24500-25500. However a decisive breakout on any side beyond defined range could further fuel momentum into the index.' India VIX rose 7.60 per cent to 15.08 level. 'Implied Volatility (IV) for Nifty's Call options settled at 13.43 per cent, while Put options concluded at 14.10 per cent. The India VIX, a key market volatility indicator, closed the week at 14.02 per cent. Bank Nifty Bank Nifty NSE's banking index closed the week at 55,527.35 points, a fall of 1,051.05 or 1.85 per cent from the previous week's closing of 56,578.40 points.
