The options flow screener for May 14, 2026, highlighted a strong surge in sweep‑side buying across multiple large‑cap and ETF names, continuing a two‑day buildup. $AAPL saw a 233.5 percent increase in sweep trades, while $KWEB jumped 386.1 percent alongside $BABA’s 371.6 percent rise — showing broad momentum in tech and China‑focused equities.
$TLT recorded a 350 percent move, suggesting renewed positioning in bonds, while $FCEL and $MRVL gained 397.3 percent and 98.1 percent respectively, driven by speculative and semiconductor interest. The standouts were $MTUM, up 3,587 percent, and $JD, up 1,384 percent, indicating concentrated inflows into momentum and retail‑oriented names.
The chart for $KWEB showed steady accumulation early in the session followed by a breakout past $30.50, confirming price flow alignment with sustained sweep buying. Overall tone: strong, broad‑based accumulation signaling risk appetite returning across tech, growth, and ETF names.
The options flow for May 14, 2026, showed concentrated activity in large‑cap tech and semiconductor names, with heavy two‑way positioning. $UNH topped the list with a $40M call sell sweep at the $400 strike expiring August 2026, marking the session’s largest single trade. $NVDA maintained strong momentum flows, featuring multiple sweeps and puts between $240 and $320 strikes, totaling over $70M in premium.
$TSM and $MU followed with repeated sweeps in both directions—$TSM’s $350 call buy sweep drew $26M, while $MU’s $740 call and $1,460 put series stacked more than $40M combined, highlighting active hedge adjustments.
$SHOP’s back‑to‑back sweeps on $140 and $160 calls added a speculative tone, while $WDC and $SOXL contributed additional semiconductor exposure.
Overall, the tape displayed large institutional engagement with mixed sentiment across tech and healthcare, signaling ongoing positioning rather than risk‑off movement heading into mid‑May.
