options lag all the time, it's always when a stock is pumping, the options traders know that if there's even a small dump, they can't covert at a reasonable value or even sell because options here in Australia options also lack liquidity and will fall with greater force to the heads, that leverage only works if you think the stock is actually going to stay at its current highs and not pull back on you, the fear will fade away if the price holds for long enough and you will see the gap begin to close only then. Most traders say they do better trading shares over options because there's also not a huge spread if they need to exit.
