Apple shares extended their rebound on Friday, rising to about $226, the highest level since March 2025 and capping a weekly advance of roughly 15 percent. Options trading turned markedly bullish alongside the rally. Market data showed a single buyer amassed roughly 65,000 November $245 call contracts for more than $23 million in premium, while separate blocks of out-of-the-money November calls added at least another $10 million in bullish wagers. By mid-session call volume reached about 443,000 contracts versus 216,000 puts, pushing the put-call ratio to roughly 0.5 and lifting dealers’ net long exposure to an estimated 7.2 million shares. Sentiment remained constructive later in the day when a trader opened a put position worth more than $20 million, effectively betting against a near-term slide. Early buyers of Thursday’s call blocks were already sitting on gains approaching 80 percent, underscoring the speed of the move as Apple regained momentum after months of underperformance.
