Nasdaq-100 futures hit record as options volume surges.

E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures reached a fresh all-time high while E-mini S&P 500 futures edged higher following strong gains earlier in the week. Equity options activity saw significant upside positioning, with S&P 500 call option volume increasing by over 35% as traders targeted 7,840 and 7,850 call strikes. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency markets stabilized after recent gains, with Micro Bitcoin futures encountering volume resistance near $89,000 as trading shifted into the October contract ahead of Friday's expiration.
