A quieter tape than last week, but the buyers who showed up were aggressive: four of every five flags landed on the bullish side, and one Meta print was bigger than the next five trades combined. Every trade below cleared the same bar our live flow feed applies: aggressive ask-side execution and verified order sides.

The Week's Top Flow
$11.5M Meta call sweep
The largest print of the week by a factor of three: $11.5M in $META calls at the $685 strike expiring August 21, swept at the ask on Wednesday and flagged live on X as it hit the tape. The strike sat just 2% out of the money, and this single print accounted for 36% of the day's notable META call flow.
$3M Bloom Energy calls, in the money
$3M in $BE calls at the $225 strike expiring August 7, swept at the ask on Monday and flagged live on X. The strike was already 7% in the money, and the print carried 32% of the day's notable BE call flow. Bloom Energy drew three flags last week too: the accumulation has not let up.
$1.9M Rocket Lab call sweep
$1.9M in $RKLB calls at the $75 strike expiring August 21 (10% out of the money), swept at the ask on Friday and flagged live on X. Half of the day's notable RKLB call flow ran through this one print heading into the weekend.

How Last Week's Flags Resolved
We score every flag and delete nothing. This is the first edition of the weekly scoreboard. From the Jul 10-16 cohort:
- $FCEL 08/21 $23C · stock +11.9%, option +52.8%
- $CRWV 09/18 $62.5P · stock -4.0%, option +28.3%
- $HIMS 07/24 $37C · stock +2.2%, option +16.1%
8 of 21 flags closed green the next session. Keep in mind that next-session scoring is the strictest possible window: many of the positions we flag are longer-dated, like the January 2027 AXT puts flagged Friday afternoon, and are built to play out over weeks or months rather than pay off overnight. Institutions accumulating ahead of a catalyst rarely need the very next candle to go their way. Flow shows you where they are positioned; it is not a guarantee of direction, and we publish the full scoreboard either way.
The Week Ahead
