Nvidia Option Trading Which Expire Today

Before we look at what the "Call-and-Put" option prices are on Nvidia going into a Monday morning I want to show you it's five day chart as of it's closing on Friday. It doesn't really tell us all that much except that it could pop on the opening to regain all that it has just lost. Now it's thirty day chart. Every couple of weeks it seems to swing by $20.00. Now let's look at the price of the 210 Calls and 210 Puts at the close last Friday that expire today a Monday. How you feel about which way the market is going to open?
