Nvidia Earnings Tomorrow: What to Expect
Nvidia (NVDA) will report quarterly earnings after the market closes tomorrow, which could move the broader market significantly. The expected move, as of this morning, is expected to be ±$13, or roughly a 10% move.
Historically, overnight gaps in NVDA after earnings have averaged a slightly positive move, but with a standard deviation of ±8%. This suggests the stock moves up or down by 8% with a 68% probability (one standard deviation range) after reporting.
Given its 19% weight in the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), NVDA’s earnings can create outsized volatility in the semiconductor sector. A big beat or miss could pull the whole exchange-traded fund (ETF) up or down sharply.
With 7% of SPY and 8% of QQQ, NVDA’s earnings can move broad market indices as well, making it a key stock to watch for overall market sentiment.

The Trump administration was "expected" to be favorable for crypto, but the market has declined. This highlights the inherent randomness of markets.

Volatility continues to get bitten into this down move, with the VIX reaching 21 this morning. Is it the end of the sell-off? Who knows? But with vol this high, it's an interesting spot to play for some volatility contraction and maybe a bounce. Selling the 5600/5580 put spread and the 6225/6245 call spread is a delta-neutral, short-vol play with roughly a +/- 5% buffer during the next 51 days.
Bitcoin has finally broken the 90,000-110,000 range, down almost 9% today with one of the biggest downside moves since 2022. If you think it might be a bit overdone, IBIT is a liquid ETF to trade spot bitcoin. Selling the 45 strike put represents a roughly $80,000 price on spot bitcoin, which is a roughly 30 delta, $1.79 in credit, and a roughly 10% ROC if IBIT stays above 45 (Bitcoin > 80k) through April.
