Clean options flow is characterized by IV spikes, spot price filling at the ask, and net premium spikes, while risky flow includes short-dated contracts, high IV, momentum chasing, and trades after large price moves; successful options trading requires combining flow alerts with contract structure, open interest, volume, IV, price action, and proper risk management rather than blindly following whale positions.

Unusual Whales Notable Flow Alerts Recap 6/15 to 6/18 | Huge $WYFI, $C, $CXW, $BFLY Flow Moves
Added:Welcome in everyone. This is our Unusual Whales Notable Flow Alerts Recap for the week of 6:15 to 6:18.
Uh it's a it's a little shorter video this week. Obviously, we're off today for Juneteenth. Markets closed, so we only have kind of 4 days of flow alerts here.
If you're new to joining us here, what we do is recap the flow that I pulled from the week and just kind of see how it performed here. I will typically count, you know, anything over 10% at least is a break even. Should be a small win there.
So, we'll kind of look at some of the flow on some of the really good movers just kind of see how it looked and all that as well here and I went ahead and I typically always just pull the flow just so I have it all on the watch list here. So, it will be everything that we're going to cover in the You can ignore the VRKB. This is a going to be a special video here.
But, everything here and the GME you can ignore there at the end as well, too.
But, from C all the way down to ALLT here, we're going to cover through these here. We had some really outstanding movers here.
And if you're wondering where I find this flow and post it, you can find that here in StockHut here. I post everything in real time. I do not edit my posts at all. Nothing is edited. I do put in notes in here as well with the flow. So, we did have some lotto and flyer pieces of flow here. So, those kind of keep in mind anything if I ever say it's a lotto play flyer play there, just kind of keep in mind that it's it's kind of one of those that you would size for zero more so on there. So, I won't spend a lot of time on those, but let's get started here. We're going to start with 6:15 and we first have up here the 6:18 C 144 calls.
Now, these are ones that I spot on Whale Watch as well here, too. So, let's go take a peek here at the flow.
And we'll take a peek at this here as well, too.
So, starting on 6:15 here, and I do want to keep the net premiums open just in case we get a good one that has a little spike here, but here is our flow that came in here on 6:15. You can see we had 1,400 contracts come in there.
At the time, it was a clean opener here.
We do We are seeing some kind of volume hitting here after the fact here. These were short-dated more so. So, I'm looking for kind of a quicker move on something that's short-dated there. So, this one, and I do put notes in For those that follow along in Stock Club, I do have notes with every piece of flow that comes in here. So, please check out the notes there.
But, let's take a peek here.
So, here's our flow. Let's go in and look at the actual raw flow and see how it looked.
So, again, a good little example here.
You get a nice spike in that IV when it comes in. Spot filled at the ask there.
Obviously, we don't overlap earnings cuz they expired this week here. But, you see how that IV stays up. Spot fills at the ask that entire time. These looked like a clean buy.
These kind of chopped here. You know, they were up slightly that next day.
Kind of slightly the next session there, but they got their big pop there on Wednesday, and then Thursday was the big pop there.
These were green for a couple sessions here. So, enough time to get some profits on that, but they hit that high there on expiration day of three 90 there for the contract.
And I What we do, too, we I I look at the full range of the contracts. Just I know there's people that will hold contracts to expiration, so on, so we just look at the full range.
Obviously, the odds of you exiting at the top probably unlikely.
But, it's just nice to kind of see where you could have improved the trade, so on, but that max return from a dollar fill there to 390 to 290% there. Absolutely amazing move for a intraday trade there or intraweek there.
So, let's move on there. That was a good find there. Walmart the 626 121 call here.
I just want to see the note that I had on this one here. So, again, you just see how I have those notes in here. IV rises, the flow comes in, nice spike in the net call premiums. So, you can see how it looked in real time when it came in there.
And I'm not going to pull pull that note for every contract there, but here's our flow.
You can see the 1,100 contracts coming in there. At the time, clean opener.
Let's look at our flow here. I think this is one of the better looking ones that we had this week as well.
So, yeah, again, use and if you're new to the videos, you'll notice a lot of my flow does kind of match and you should have rules when you're following flow. What if it doesn't follow your rules or you're kind of questioning things?
You don't have to take it. You don't have to take it. Just there'll be another trade.
But, good good spike in that IV on these. Spot is filling at the ask here.
Just follow this up here. Again, no changes in the IV. Spot fills at the ask that entire time. These look like a buy to open here. These got a little pop here. I want to Look at that 72. So, 615. Look at that net call premium on the day there as well, too. Just picking up all day on that.
But, these got a little These got a little pop same day there. So, again, 167. I mean, you hit 229 that same day and then you had the gap up there. 616 was your high of 330 there.
Even trade around 218 there on 617. So, again, plenty of time to take profits and I always tell people just because the whale's still in doesn't mean you need to be in it. This one's a little tougher to see if that whale truly is still You see a lot kind of different transactions coming in here. Hard to monitor the one big whale, especially seeing the bigger volume spikes.
But good move on those ones there. So, 167 to a high of 312. So, 86.83% there.
Up next though, I have a double Wi-Fi hit here. So, I this one I will show how I posted here. So, these both kind of came in fair very close time-wise again in here.
I I just kind of highlighted the expiration in the contract here.
You know, more of a interesting name just with that name up 14% on the day already, but you can see how that flow came in here.
Not the best overall fills, but interesting flow more so on those. And we're just going to take a peek here.
So, there's your Wi-Fi. And this one's a good example of some whales exiting here. So, we'll go back to 615. Look at all that volume there. Majority of that carries over. You see that volume on the 16th.
A lot of contracts traded. You see a drop in open interest. So, this whale was in here and then out here. So, clean ask side entry.
Clean bid side exit here. And that whale got in 228. Looks like they got out about 710. They did miss some move there on Friday. They did hit a high there of 970. So, that max return is 325.44%.
And again, that this is what we do in the videos.
I'll show you that max return, you know, the whale and if that whale exited, we see a clean exit.
Maybe they left profits on the table like this one did leave some profits on the table, but that big max return there of 325%.
Whale did get out about 710.
Then our other Wi-Fi one, this one was also another cleaner exit more so on this one, too.
And you can see that volume coming in there on 615.
This one uh this one you don't get that full open interest carryover. So, these are really deep in the money as well, too. I don't know what they were sitting at there on 615. Maybe they exercised some contracts cuz you're not seeing that a lot of transactions after they're in when you exercise options, it doesn't count as an actual, you know, volume transaction there, but yeah, I mean they're out now, I would say. I mean you see a big spike there on 616.
So, about 5,000 between those two. So, there's about 400 contracts kind of missing in here. Maybe they took some out in there. Could make some sense there, but yeah, good move there. I mean, 124 that well. Getting out about 545 there, and they did hit their high of 1050 there on Friday. So, 746.77% on those.
That's that Wi-Fi 61830 call.
All right, up next we have the poets here, the 724 15 five call. This one Guys, I'm just trying to see some of the notes. So, this one, you know, not the cleanest fills on here. I had lean buys on those with descending fill, more of a lotto flyer here. So, I'm not going to spend too much time. Again, you can see what I'm talking about with that kind of messier, oops.
No, no, I'll come back here.
You can see what I'm talking about kind of with that messier fills there. I mean that IV's kind of bouncing around all over the place here. It's just not the cleanest looking flow.
They they did get a little pop there 209, and I mean, they hit 287 on the day there.
So, I mean, you they got a good little pop there more so.
I I've got this marked at 265 as a total of 26% gain, but I mean, they got a good little pop intraday there and other than that, I mean, you just kind of look here at that 7-day it's just kind of down from there and I'm not wondering if they're probably short these calls cuz you did have a big chunk come in there on the 16th and all of that carried over. Could be short the calls, who knows? We'll have to see what happens on that one.
>> [snorts] >> But, just a small little profit on that one, 26.79%.
There was a Microsoft weekly that would've been next in the video here. I don't have that expi- it expired, so I can't pull that one, but that was another kind of lotto play. That's this one you see right here. Again, IV spikes. It looked like a momentum chaser there.
I don't think they saw anything on that one at all there.
All right. So, let's keep moving on here.
So, now we have the 618 114 calls.
Again, another one that came in on FOMC day. Again, another momentum chaser. IV rises as the flow comes in, net call premium there. And you can see what I'm talking about a momentum chaser. There, it's up 4% on the day there. It's short-dated. It's a momentum chaser more so on something like that.
And this again, those momentum chasers. I can I can adjust the notes a little bit there, but you know, you got to kind of be cautious on that. It looks like this one got out same day 85 and looks like they got out about 38 there. You see all that volume on the 15th there and not all of it carried over there. So, again, good example here of, you know, if you if you see this in real time, you're going to say, "Oh, they're adding to their position." Just because they're traded at the ask doesn't mean it's an automatic buy there. So, you can see that reflected in that open interest change there.
So, that was one of the losers on the week.
Up next the 717 PG 155 calls. Great move on these here 205 hitting the high there 310 again trading near three for a couple days here mid twos.
Good enough to take some profits on something like that. Let's look at our flow.
Very good clean textbook flow here.
Again, you see that IV spike when it comes in spot is filled at the ask.
All spots are filled at the ask. IV's up there and then here's your big size and big premium big spike in that IV spot price fills at the ask. There's not an above ask trade.
If you see people talking about below bid above ask, that's that's not real.
There's nothing It's not real. Just ignore those people.
Treat these as fills at the ask and then if it was below bid at the bid there.
So good move on those there. Again, you just see that spike there and let's just look at our premiums here. Look at that big spike in that call premium here.
This trade was responsible for that alone there and I believe I noted that as well in here. Textbook flow sideways big spike in that call premium. You see at the time here.
There's your trade coming in. There's that spike in that call premium. That is what should be grabbing your attention.
Good move on those though again 207 to 310 so 49.76%.
All right, let's keep going down.
Then we have the riot 62628 calls here.
This is one of the Anthony filled trades as well too if you're saw that video already, but this flow looked good. IV's rising here spot price rising you get another block of trades coming in after again IV spike spot price rises.
These These only hit about 28% again.
28% is a solid return. You see a lot of people talking, you know, showing 500, 600% returns. Yes, that's great if it happens.
Aiming for the home run will get you hit every single hurt eventually. You have to be smart. You have to adjust up your stops, size out appropriately, be smart with your trades. Don't don't aim for the moon every single time. Yes, if you have runners that hit hit a massive return like that, great.
But, holding just because a whale's still in two doesn't always work out either. Again, you need to protect your capital. You need to manage your trade, manage your risk, be smart about it.
It's your money. God, just because somebody else is in a trade, you truly don't know what these people are doing.
Could be part of another bigger trade even if it doesn't show it's multi-leg.
This one's just showing it's multi-leg on the day there, but at the time this was not multi-leg. And I can just pop this back here and show you there. So, at the time not multi-leg.
So, here's our flow again.
Kind of choppy there for the same day. A little gap up there. We hit our high there on Wednesday on the 17th, 189.
Again, chopping around the 180s there for a couple days. So, again, another decent return there.
Max return on that, 147 to 189 for 28.57%.
Good return on those.
Up next, we have the HPE 710 50 calls here.
These got a decent little pop here. 320 was the opening trade there. They hit a high of on the 17th there, 380. And actually they hit four there on 6/16 kind of with that spread there. I'm just going to go with that 380 there just to be a little more fair cuz I don't see where it would have hit that. It should have hit that there on the 17th, but let's look at our flow and let's pop this up here.
Again, look at when that flow comes in, big spike and then that call premium.
These got a little gap up there. I mean, even that gap up 320 up to 350, that's a 10% pop there. I mean, that's that's should [snorts] throw a stop on it break even.
Can always reenter a trade if you still like that flow.
But, good spike in that IV, spot fills at the ask. Looks good throughout there.
And that high of 380 there, you know, that's 22.19% over 2 days there. And what I like to do, you know, something like this, hey, I'm up 10% I'll throw a break even on, maybe I want to secure 10%, you know, something there and get back in and recycle profits. This one a little tougher to kind of do that on, but some other examples you we've had over the couple videos where you see that, you know, good discounted entry and then they pop like, now if you were to secure your profits here on 617 and you're trading down here at 209, well, if you like the discount here and you wait until let's just say Monday cuz we have a long weekend here, you get a discount, you get that theta that eats 3 days away from these. You get a decent discount and if it comes back up because it's it's an if, it's not a 100% guarantee that the flow's going to come back up, you got a discount, you secured profits, you're double dipping, so.
But, good move on those. Again, 311 and 380 for 22.19%.
Target, this is one of the Anthony flow trades as well, too.
Still some time on these, 21 days.
Haven't really seen too much on those 196, they're trading about 112 there.
So, if that was truly bullish on those, they're down about 42% on those.
Again, you just see this flow here.
And this is one that I actually took this week, too, but IVs up, spots filling up the ask. We'll have to see what happens there.
And all right, let's keep trucking along here.
The SMCI 72432 calls.
This This will have to be a wait on Monday and kind of see what happens here. Looks like they might be out at break even or they're doubling down here. We don't know until that open interest updates here, but you can see at the time all that volume from the 16th, most of that carried over. We see a big volume here at 5764. I have this one marked at break even. They came back just very slightly green, but I have it marked as a break even cuz I want to see what this candle does here.
Still some time on these overall, but again, they got a little dip there and then they came back on Thursday.
So, I'm looking for that open interest to either increase, which would mean this whale added to their position. So, you see that increase by, you know, roughly 5,000 or so.
Decrease by roughly 5,000 or so, or, you know, slightly change, not a significant change, which would tell me these contracts are changing hands there. So, good example to kind of come back to and see what happens with that one.
that one I have marked down at break even. Coreweave, we have the 72475 puts here. We'll have to see what happens with this one here. Here is our flow.
Looked interesting, you know, a little further out of the money, but Coreweave does move a little bit here. These coming in at 103, closing at 96 today. I mean, they're down 4% there. Have to see what happens.
Plenty of time on those.
GEO, the 71729 calls. This is one of the trades I took this week as well.
Great move on this one here. Very clean opener here. Very clean-looking flow as well. Let's just look here again. Big spike in the net call premium. This trade was responsible for that.
You see that IV spike when it comes in.
Spots filling up the ask.
IV drops a little bit, but it recovers.
Spot price increases, and these look like a buy to open. And we got a rocket there into the next day.
Hitting a high of 209. So, 138 to 209, 51.45%.
Still trading, you know, around 182. And again, just because that whale is still in doesn't necessarily mean you need to be in. I don't care if there's 28 days on these, 60 days, 70 days. If you're in profit, take profit. You never know what can happen in this market.
But, good move on those there.
So, let's keep on trucking along here.
CXW, this was another good mover on the week here. And let me just for everybody following along. Again, you can just see where Here's the riots. Here's the HPEs, Target, SMCI, Coreweave, GEO. Again, no edits on any of my posts.
Everything is posted real time. I do not edit anything. That beats transparency. So, next we're on the CXW.
So, I just want to look at this one.
Real time again. I have it marked as an IV rises full comes in as an in-fill.
That call premium spike. Again, you just see that spike there when that flow comes in.
Let's move over here again. Good move on those 127. And they closed near the high there. I mean, Oh, they did close at the high there. The max return of 264. So, 130 to 264, these are up 103.8%. Again, if I'm in something like this, I am taking profits over the weekend. You don't know what can happen over the weekend. They're 3% in the money.
Great move on those here and again there's your spike in that call premium when it came in.
Let's look at our flow here.
So this coming in two block trades here.
So again looking at that IV spike when it comes in spot price rising these look good.
Obviously phenomenal move on those.
All right.
So SpaceX we had one SpaceX this week and I just want to kind of show everybody how I laid that out here. So you know IV rises the flow comes in it's net put premium spiking. It's a very high IV on these so using a lot of caution on these here. I mean you see how high that IV is SpaceX just IPO'd on Friday it was Tuesday was the first day of options. So again I I almost more of a lotto flyer position on something like that but and you can even see I mean SpaceX is down 10% at one point on Thursday there and these contracts with the IV being so high there. I mean they barely got back to break even. I mean they slightly went over there. I mean I I have it marked as break even on there cuz I hit 1285 but very long dated on these here too. So still got some time on those.
Uh SLB this was a another you know short dated we treated as a lotto flyer here.
You know smaller little whale there.
And again when I say lotto flyer it's kind of a Yeah it's size for zero there just cuz you know they were very short dated and they you can see they expired worthless there.
Meta this was another one that came in Wednesday right before FOMC.
Again another lotto flyer here.
Just kind of the way this hit the tape there. I mean see all the asks I hit this whale did get out that same day. So I'm guessing they were looking for a pop there on meta and you can see all that volume barely any of that carried over there.
VG this is one kind of still TBD on this 28 days left came in at 43 they're trading about 34 cents right now 34 34 cents or so so they're down about you know 18% or so on those about 20% 28 days so you know we'll see what happens there but these looked these looked pretty good here.
Have to see what happens I mean again IV rising here so you do get that IV kind of drop a little bit here rises a little bit there at the end but then here's your big size and premium so and your IV pops so those those look interesting here again note so that's by per so again you can see the notes in here and again I attached the tape as well to on some of the more interesting ones but you know a little interesting there to see what happens with that one over time.
Um let's keep going here Fiji Wolf okay I was like I'm trying to find where we are next.
Wolf these came in at FOMC towards the end of the day clean opener IV kind of slightly drops on three contracts but we pop back up here and here's your big spike in that IV here on that size and premium it is an ascending fill definitely an opener here you see that 617 definitely a clean volume greater than open interest there all at once opening trade most of that carried over these hit a high of 525 here yesterday so just slightly over 10% 477 to that 525 just 10.06% there um closing up there 487 so they are still slightly green on those with a lot of time on them.
Verizon the 731 46 calls here. This one Let's see what I put for the note on that. So, it was a big block trade.
There wasn't much to analyze on this flow and I'll show you what I mean by that here.
So, that first trade of the day here.
So, let me just kind of come down here.
Let's put the results out.
So, when I'm saying it's a big block trade we'll go over a page here.
That 9,000 you see that 9,000 size there? 9,000 volume. This is the first trade on the day. I don't have a ton of context to look off of. This is how it looked when it actually hit the feed there. I can't see how that IV's reacting to the flow, so on and all that cuz I don't have anything prior to this, but pretty wide bid-ask spread there on something like that. So, it's a little unusual.
They do overlap earnings and I believe I shh No, but so okay, yeah. They overlap earnings. So, I have to see what happens with that one there.
Um yeah, they're down right now a little bit.
Trading at about 120. So, you know, down 32% on those 42 days. Have to see what happens.
Oracle the 724 190 calls. These made a good intraday move yesterday.
Taking a peek here again.
IV's up. Spot price fills at the ask here. Let's just remove that time filter.
Here, take a peek.
Again, here's when that flow starts coming in.
You get a good IV spike here. Spot fills at the ask. Looks clean. These moved from 910 to a high of 1120 on the day.
So, again, 23.21%.
BFLY the 821 10 calls. This was more of a lotto play as well, too.
Just cuz, you know, it was up 31% on the day when that came in. But, yeah, you see that net call premium spike when these came in, too. That's always interesting. I'm not a big fan of chasing something that's up 30% on the day, but man, these coming in at 67 cents there. I got it marked at 67, hitting a high of 146.
I mean, closing near the high there.
117.91% intraday move on that. Can't argue with that. Good move there. This looks like it could possibly be some excess here. I mean, you got 4,300 there.
Plus, you know, the thousand there. So, we're going to say 53.
Here's 31 plus two, you know. Very very similar here again. Just because it's at the ask doesn't mean it's a double dip here. Double check that open interest on Monday and see what happens with that.
And last but not least, we have the 7718 ALLT8 call.
Have to see what happens with this one.
We got some good hits in here. They closed at break even. Good little pop in the stock there. Kind of kind of a smaller name.
Smaller price name there, but flow looked good when it came in. Again, you get that ascending fill, spot price rising. Looks good. We'll have to see what happens with that, but other than that, that is all I have for the notable flow alerts recap there.
Again, if you're looking for those, you can find those in that notable flow alerts channel here. Everything's posted in real time. Nothing's edited. This is the closest you'll see to anything being an edit like that.
And if you'd like to join Stock Up and get an access to the alerts, feel free to check out the description. If you'd like to try Unusual Whales and get access to this data, I have a 10% off discount in the description as well.
Other than that, enjoy the long weekend, everybody, and we will be back next week.
