The aggressive money leaned bullish this week, with most of the flagged premium going into calls swept at the ask. 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
$17M CoreWeave call sweep
The largest print of the week: $17M in $CRWV calls expiring March 2027 (149 days out), swept at the ask on Wednesday and flagged live on Bluesky as it hit the tape. Positioning this far out is built to play out over months, not sessions.
$10.7M Sandisk puts, backed by the dark pool
$10.7M in $SNDK puts expiring January 2027 (91 days out), swept into the offer on Friday and flagged live on Bluesky within minutes of the print. It printed alongside a block in Sandisk's dark pool activity the same session, the convergence pattern we weight most heavily.
$7.6M Tesla call sweep ahead of earnings
$7.6M in $TSLA calls expiring April 2027 (177 days out), swept at the ask on Wednesday and flagged live on Bluesky as it hit the tape. Ask-side aggression into an earnings print is among the most aggressive positioning we track.
Strategy Corner
The week's standout multi-leg position was a $23.7M $AMZN call credit spread: sold the Nov $265 calls, bought the Nov $290s for a net credit.

How Last Week's Flags Resolved
We score every flag and delete nothing. One familiar name gave some back: the $LITE flag we featured in last week's recap landed near the bottom of the cohort. From the Oct 16-22 cohort:
- $CLF 11/20 $13.5P · stock -7.0%, option +77.3%
- $PSIX 11/20 $45P · stock -3.3%, option +30.0%
- $POWL 08/20 $200C · stock +3.3%, option +7.3%
8 of 24 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 March 2027 CoreWeave 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 Alphabet (Wed), Alphabet (Wed), and Microsoft (Wed), with 525 more names on the calendar. Also on watch: a court date for Tesla expected Friday; a court date for Brookfield Renewable Partners 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.
