🧼 Golden Sweeps ETF – Big Money, Big Prints, Big Red Flags 🧯

Let’s talk ETF prints that made the tape scream:

🟥 $SPY

• Total Flow: $51.86M

• PUTS DOMINATED: $38.46M

• Top Contracts: $555P (05/30), $598P (05/23)

• 💣 One whale dropped $3.31M on 8,065 contracts of the $555P

• 🔥 Context: They’re not hedging. They’re betting on collapse. Again.

🟥 $IWM

• Flow: $20.59M

• Also Put Heavy: $19.97M

• 🧻 Small caps were the punching bag of the day. $192P and $195P blocks came in hot.

🟢 $QQQ

• Flow: $22.13M

• Mixed, but $14.5M in calls

• $520C Aug 15 – 2,500 contracts @ $21.33 = $5.33M

• 🎯 Bullish lean. Someone’s playing the tech bounce this summer.

🟢 $IBIT

• Flow: $26.22M – All Calls

• $62–$75C prints for May and June

• 📈 BTC vibes are bullish. Looks like whales want exposure before the next ETF inflows hit.

🧠 Golden Sweeps – Non-ETF (a.k.a. Single Stock Fireworks)

🟢 $MSFT – The Golden Goose of the Day

• 4x identical sweeps:
  $500C – Dec 19 ‘25, $5.03M each 🧹
  ➕ That’s $20M across the board
  ➕ Spot: $458.41
  🧠 Context: Someone said “ChatGPT who?” and just bet MSFT owns AI by 2026.

🟢 $GOOGL – Again and again and again…

• $185C – Jun 20 ‘25 | 3 massive blocks totaling $17M

• $225C – Jan 16 ‘26 | $4.8M block

• ➕ Google keeps showing up like a toxic ex. But this time it’s bullish.

🟢 $TSLA – Call laddered

• $340C | $5.07M | Sept Expiry

• Not big in size, but someone sees Elon rebounding post-earnings 🚀

🔍 Unusual Options Orders – The WTF Zone 🚨

This is where things got… odd.

🤖 $AI – $290K block on $28C (May 30)

• 10,000 contracts @ 0.29 = “lemme try AI one more time before it dies again”

• IV at 122%. Risk appetite: very spicy.

💻 $NVDA – Multiple prints at $157.5C and $165C

• 10K blocks, tight fills. IV elevated.

• Clearly still the institutional darling. Don’t call it a comeback… it never left.

💣 $MSTR – $230P (May 30) | 8,500 contracts @ 0.47

• Someone either hates crypto or thinks Saylor’s gonna tweet himself into an SEC probe.

📉 $GLNG & $GLXY – Small names, weird sizes, high IV

• GLXY IV = 112%, 3,494 contracts @ 1.40

• Someone’s either a genius or hitting “Buy” with their elbows.

🕶️ Darkpool Activity – Where the Real Money Hid 🐍

Here’s who was lurking silently today in the shadows:

Note: When names like $JEPI, $XLE, and $IGV hit the darkpool tape — something macro is shifting. Keep your eyes up.
