Options trading surged above average on stocks favored by retail investors, including Robinhood, Palantir, Tesla, and SpaceX. Traders are buying calls at least twice as much as puts, signaling strong bullish sentiment amid low market volatility, with the VIX below 15. Robinhood saw the most bullish action, with call buying nearly three times put buying, pushing its stock positive for the year. Tesla and SpaceX options activity is driven by anticipation of Tesla's Cybercab event and SpaceX reclaiming key price levels, despite historically low implied volatility. This aggressive retail trading suggests confidence and momentum in these volatile, speculative stocks.
