Unusual options flow

Tier-1 prints from the last day: volume against open interest, premium paid, and how far out of the money.

Last 24 hours · 60 prints

Volume shows size, not side. An unusually large print can be a hedge, a spread leg, or someone closing — the tape does not say which. Treat these as places where money moved, not as a direction.

How to read it

V/OI — the day's volume against existing open interest. A high ratio means the position is new, not that it is right.
IV above 100% usually means an event is already priced in, and that the premium collapses once the event passes.
Deep OTM with short DTE is a lottery ticket whoever bought it, and often the cheap leg of a spread rather than a bet.
