Bulls did the paying this week: the bulk of the flagged premium landed in calls swept at the ask rather than resting in the book. 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
$11M Tesla call sweep
The largest print of the week: $11M in $TSLA calls expiring April 2027 (185 days out), swept at the ask on Tuesday and flagged live on Bluesky within minutes of the print. Paper this long-dated reads as accumulation, not a day trade.
$6.9M Lumentum Holdings calls, backed by the dark pool
$6.9M in $LITE calls expiring June 2027 (248 days out), swept at the ask on Monday and flagged live on Bluesky within minutes of the print. It printed alongside a block in Lumentum Holdings's dark pool activity the same session, the convergence pattern we weight most heavily.
$3.8M Bloom Energy call sweep
$3.8M in $BE calls expiring November 2026 (39 days out), swept into the offer on Monday and flagged live on Bluesky within minutes of the print.
Strategy Corner
The week's standout multi-leg position was a $20.7M $CRWV put credit spread: sold the Jan $60 puts, bought the Jan $50s for a net credit.
Runner-up: a $15.9M $NVDA put credit spread (sold the Dec $210 puts, bought the Dec $170s).

How Last Week's Flags Resolved
We score every flag and delete nothing. This week's number one is a familiar name: the $RIOT flag we featured in last week's recap kept running. From the Oct 9-15 cohort:
- $RIOT 12/18 $15P · stock -11.5%, option +12.3%
- $ENPH 06/17 $30C · stock +5.0%, option +11.5%
- $CRWV 01/15/27 50/60P spread · net +1.3%
5 of 25 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 April 2027 Tesla calls above, 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
Earnings from Meta Platforms (Wed), Tesla (Wed), and ExxonMobil Holdings (Fri), with 200 more names on the calendar. Also on watch: a court date for Micron Technology expected Thursday. When flow starts printing against these events, it hits the live feed first, and you can track dealer positioning into the prints with gamma exposure.
