Pre-NY Options Positioning vol is still pretty elevated and downside hedging is showing up in pockets. $QQQ had fresh buying in the 718 puts while the 750 puts were sold, and $NVDA had decent buying in the 235 puts too. not completely one way though, that huge $NDX Nov call trade from Friday confirmed as opening with OI jumping overnight. $NFLX / $META / $TSLA are all pricing much bigger moves than usual today too.

$BTC boring "black monday" front-end downside vol has cooled off, back to calls slightly bid. puts still bid on $IBIT there was spot buying on binance throughout the tail end of US session, OI came off a bit other than that not much going on just a compressed range heading into asia session gm

gud tech?

$BTC NY was basically straight up, but it was mainly OI being added, diverged with spot cvd 0DTE options flow is pretty dead here too, basically flat on both calls and puts. further out is kinda interesting. around +$38m net calls bought at 90k across all expiries, while 95k is around -$26m net sold. the larger tape looks pretty similar, a bunch of 85k / 89-90k call structures

bitcoin:native $IBIT tomorrow will interesting with CPI + Anthropic showing Q3 numbers to investors. in short, people are paying for downside into tomorrow. BTC 0DTE puts are heavily bid, 25d skew +3.1% with put IV 24.9% vs calls 21.8%. $IBIT front expiry looks similar, 25d skew +2.9% with puts bid. further out is a different story though, around +143k calls net bought with ~48k puts net sold across the rest of the week. near-term hedging into the event, but not really the same defensive positioning further out.

Pre-NY yesterday's flow leaned a bit more defensive into CPI week. $SPY around -$35m net calls / +$14m puts, while $QQQ had around +$58m net put buying. QQQ downside was one of the cleaner standouts too, 11.6k Oct 30 751 puts traded vs 891 OI with 99% bought at the ask. underneath it was still pretty split. $NVDA -$68m net calls / $AMD -$26m, while $MSFT +$29m and $META +$91m net calls. vol is pricing a bit more movement than usual too, SPY around ±0.81% / QQQ ±1.26% for today

NY Open Options Flow index flow was pretty mixed yesterday, but there was more selling underneath it. $NVDA calls around -$29m net with +$16m puts bought, $AMD calls -$50m and $AVGO calls -$27m. $AAPL was one of the cleaner exceptions with around +$12m net call buying. bigger standout was $AMD 640 Oct30 calls, 6.6k traded vs 560 OI with 92% sold at the bid. OI added 5.7k overnight so looks like a pretty decent new position. $MU was the opposite, 2.6k 1080 Oct30 calls traded with 91% bought at the ask, OI +1.9k overnight.

bitcoin:native $IBIT lots of shorts coming on through the move lower, spot coming off another -$238.6m Spot ETF outflow reported for yesterday so far, with $IBIT still missing after yesterday's move, options flows aren't leaning massively bearish. EOW flow is a little more defensive though, with some put buying around 80-82k while calls are net sold overall.

Pre-NY Positioning $SPY / $QQQ still sitting short gamma here, with most of the big tech names short gamma too. yesterday's options flow had some pretty big SPY upside activity though. 89k of the Oct 14 790 calls traded against only ~800 OI, with 81% bought at the ask. $IWM had similar upside flow further out, 18.8k Nov 287 calls traded with 99% bought at the ask. vol is still pricing more movement than we've actually been getting recently too. SPY priced ~0.8% vs ~0.5% average realized over the last 20 sessions

$SPY gm, all time high

bitcoin:native $IBIT 0DTE flow and EOW options flow pretty flat further out there is still some bigger call buying at 88k / 90k, but also plenty being sold at 95k. $IBIT is a little more active this week, around +31k calls and +18k puts net bought, mostly clustered around 46-50. basically just chopping around, the usual boring conditions ETF flows starting the week negative too, but not fully reported yet. only ARKB in so far at -$85.2m
