🏦 Big Money Orders: Heavy Hitters Loading Up
🔹 $QQQ was the playground today — over $350M in call and put premium flying through.
Biggest prints: $450-$470 strikes, September and June expirations.
Bias: Mostly bearish — lots of deep OTM puts stacking up. Big money hedging? 👀
🔹 $TSLA stayed hot 🔥 with heavy call/put action at the $280 and $240 strikes into mid-2026.
Sentiment: Mixed, but lots of defensive positioning after last week's rally.
🔹 $SOFI caught a monster block:
77,000+ calls at $15 strike for May expiry — $4M premium.
IV popped to 89%. Some kind of rumor swirling?
🚀 Non-ETF Big Money Orders: Individual Names in Focus
Forget the ETFs — here's where real risk-on trades happened:
$MRK (Merck) loaded $80 June 2027 calls — heavy healthcare defensive buying.
$ARM still seeing unusual call sweeps. AI arms race bets?
$NVDA $105 puts were smacked hard — traders hedging ahead of China's AI chip push news.
$META $550 puts bought aggressively too — bearish tilt creeping into Big Tech. 🧠
🧨 Unusual Flow: What's Not Normal?
🔹 $SLV (Silver ETF) saw three massive call blocks around the $30-$35 strikes, all expiring June-August.
This could be an inflation hedge...or someone bracing for currency volatility 👀
🔹 $RUN $8 strike calls (solar stock) — heavy action with IV over 200%.
Penny stock gamblers...or insiders betting on clean energy headlines?
🔹 $WOLF (Wolfspeed) — nearly 70% IV spike on small but fast $7 call sweep. Microcap squeeze brewing?

$SOFI, $SLV, $SNAP — strong dark pool prints stacking up.
$SNAP in particular flashed 20M+ shares in dark orders across multiple blocks. 🕵️♂️
$TSLA continues to trade heavy in darks. Bulls defended the $270-$275 zone like a fortress.
