💛 Golden Sweeps – ETF Edition (A.K.A. “The Smart Money Alert 🚨”)
ETFs got hit with a tsunami of block-sized bets today. Some of y’all might wanna stop YOLO-ing $DOGE and peek at these:
🧹 Notable Orders:
$TSLA - Someone really believes in Elon’s comeback tour. $89M into 07/18/25 $340 calls, and another $26M on the $420s (blaze it). Total flow? $132.8M. King Elon might actually pull a reverse-UNO.
$SPY - Big money slapped $20M+ on puts, hoping we tank. Maybe they're still salty about CPI.
$IWM - Russell 2K got $31M attention, mostly puts. That’s a bearish bet on small caps, or maybe just someone shorting hope.
$IBIT – The Bitcoin ETF saw a clean $24M all calls. Someone’s betting crypto’s not dead after all.
$QQQ – Tech gods getting some love: $19.8M split with puts dominating.
Verdict: Mixed ETF flow. TSLA is 🚀 bullish. $SPY & $IWM still smell bearish. $QQQ straddling the fence like an indecisive Tinder date.
🤑 Golden Sweeps – Single Stocks (Non-ETF Flow a.k.a. “Alpha Sniffers”)
This is where the sharks swim. Big sweeps, big premiums, big cojones.
🧹 The Whales Rolled Deep:
$NVDA – 11 orders, $24M in flow. AI money printer go BRRR again.
$UNH – Healthcare’s sleeping giant. $14.1M flow, mostly calls. Somebody’s prepping for a breakout—or a surprise earnings leak 👀.
$FSLR – Solar woke up?! $12.6M poured in, heavy call bias. Clean energy getting dirty rich.
$ARM – Chip play love with $10.1M in call flow. Looks like someone read a bullish AI newsletter.
$RIOT – Bitcoin proxy received $4.5M in straight call action. Crypto bros unite.
Sentiment check: Bullish tilt in the single-stock flow. Tech and solar names are getting bid like Jordans on release day.
🔥 Unusual Orders – WTF Is Going On Here?
These are the “wait... what?” trades. Unusual size, timing, or absolute degeneracy.
$MPC – Multiple chunky puts on oil. Someone’s hedging or expecting crude to get smoked.
$RNA – Odd $25 puts. Small cap biotech gambles – now with more volatility!
$XP & $CRVW – Micro-cap flows with no chill. Probably insider lunch bets 🥪.
Also... $PONY tagged with 220% IV 😳. No clue what they know, but they know something.
🕶️ Darkpool Tape – “Big Brother Buys Quietly”
If the darkpool is Vegas, these are the whales at the high-stakes tables.
💰 Top Silent Whales:
$VOO – $750M at $546.96. Probably Warren Buffett’s intern.
$BKLC – $602M sweep at $113.65. New kid on the block ETF—someone thinks it’s a sleeping monster.
$MSFT – Multiple trades over $200M+. The AI cloud king keeps getting love.
$JNJ & JPM – $260M each. This is that old-money flow, probably wearing suits.
Note: $QQQ had a series of identical $215M prints... copy-paste, much?
