$BTC ~$15m in longs wiped out, quick leverage flush there plus some spot coming off mainly through Binance / OKX shorts getting added throughout the move lower

$BTC NY move higher had OI added behind it this time, price +1.2% with around $468m coming in some of that leverage has started unwinding since the close, but Binance spot CVD is still just straight up options were pretty quiet through NY, calls basically flat while puts were net sold around $350k front end is still leaning calls too, 25d skew around -1.8%, while further out 30d skew is still around +3% $IBIT was a little more active, around +$1.1m net calls and +$600k net puts

FOMC at 2pm, then $MSFT / $GOOGL earnings after the close yesterday's index flow was pretty calm going into it, $SPY around +$41m net calls, $QQQ around +$18m calls / +$18m puts. $GOOGL was the standout, around +$39m net calls with roughly +$27m concentrated at the Jan 360s. $MSFT was around +$10m net calls. options are pricing roughly ±4.3% for $GOOGL and ±3.7% for $MSFT today

$BTC London session spot buying has been coming through Binance / OKX with another +$176m of Spot ETF inflows too. mostly via $IBIT options are balanced right now going into FOMC day, front 25d skew is basically flat with put / call IV around 34.8% / 34.6% still 8 hours till they tell use there is no change and earnings after ny close, fun day

$BTC NY session was mostly shorts covering, price +0.8% while around $250m of OI came off, but there was spot buying behind it too, mainly through Binance at around +$161m since the move started options flow itself was basically flat through NY, but the front end has flipped, 1d skew around -1% with calls now bid. further out is still more defensive though, 30d skew around +3%

gn

Pre-NY Positioning pretty chill index flow yesterday, $QQQ finished around +$34m net calls with roughly +$10m concentrated in the Nov 715s. still some protection sitting underneath it though, 70k $VIX Feb 22 calls traded for ~$18.6m at the ask. event vol is the bigger thing going into NY, $MSFT pricing ~3.3%, $GOOGL ~3.8% and $AMZN ~4.1%

you've been missing out for a long time

im back

$BTC CME leveraged funds are still net short, but added longs/ covered shorts pretty aggressively last week, net short position now around 4.9k contracts. Spot ETFs starting this week positive too, +$110.3m so far entirely from $IBIT nothing huge yet, but positioning has moved a bit less defensive

$BTC boring NY session, OI is building while spot CVD has been positive through the range, mainly from buying on Binance. some spot selling on Coinbase but nothing major options leaned defensive through NY, around +$1.6m net puts bought while calls were net sold some of the bigger flow was further out too, including decent Dec 72k put buying while 90k Dec calls were sold front IV has cooled back off, but skew is still around +3%

$BTC Longs being forced closed off NY open, OI up with spot buying coming from coinbase ethereum:0xe0f63a424a4439cbe457d80e4f4b51ad25b2c56c and $BRENT up off the open, $NDX selling off interesting morning isn't it

Contracts push the risk onto the neoclouds Hyperscalers locked in take-or-pay Neocloud deals are cancellable and depend on the neoclouds raising financing If AI demand cools, or Anthropic loses big enterprise clients to OpenAI, neocloud credit could crack

Anthropic S-1 IPO filing is live Link: sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/…

Pre-NY Positioning $SPY / $QQQ / $IWM are all short gamma going into the new week, while positioning underneath is pretty mixed across single names. big week for macro too + if Anthropic's S1 comes out in 30 mins it's gonna be fun durable goods tomorrow, FOMC Wednesday, then GDP + PCE Thursday. big earnings mixed in as well with $MSFT / $GOOGL Wednesday and $AMZN Thursday. plenty of stuff on the calendar this week
