The options flow screener highlighted a sharp shift in put to call trade ratios, with several names showing continuous increases over the last three days.
$AFRM led the tape with a last value of 28, while $ACMR and $COPX also posted elevated readings, pointing to meaningful changes in positioning.
The breadth of the move stood out. $RIOT, $SE, $VG, $NVMI, $XBI, $PG, and $RACE all registered significant increases, showing the activity was spread across technology, biotech, crypto, industrial metals, and consumer names rather than concentrated in a single theme.
A sustained rise in the put to call trade ratio reflects a notable change in the character of the tape.
Options flow on July 29 was led by concentrated premium in technology and semiconductors, with a notable outlier in $BE.
The tape lit up with a $32M put sweep buyer in $BE, the largest print on the board and a clear example of significant flow.
Semiconductor positioning remained active across multiple names. $TSM drew several large call orders, including an $18M call sweep sale and a $15M call sweep buy.
$INTC also saw repeated call activity through large split orders, while $AMD, $NVDA, and $SNDK added to the sector's notable activity. $SPCX appeared multiple times with sizable call and put positioning, highlighting continued index exposure adjustments.
When large premium trades cluster across related names and expirations, it often reflects broader positioning rather than isolated interest.
July 29 brings one of the heaviest earnings sessions of the week, with $MSFT leading the tape after hours.
$MSFT reports with a $2.89T market cap and a consensus EPS estimate of $4.21, while $META follows as another mega cap report after hours with a $1.50T market cap and a $7.13 consensus EPS estimate.
The after hours lineup also includes $LRCX, $ARM, $QCOM, $SBUX, $BBVA, and $FTNT. Before the open, attention shifts to $PG and $APH.
The macro calendar is just as important. The Federal Funds Rate and FOMC Statement are due at 13:00, followed by the FOMC Press Conference at 13:30.
A packed earnings slate alongside a key Fed decision keeps market positioning firmly on the radar.
