Host Mark Longo returns to wrap up a fascinating trading day where macro trends took center stage, but the “Golden Sweeps” revealed massive institutional moves. While single-name volume was slightly muted, the tape was lit up by defense sector newcomers and the usual heavyweight suspects.

In this episode, Mark breaks down:

  • The Golden Sweep Scan: A deep dive into multi-exchange sweep orders over $1M, including high-conviction plays in MongoDB (MDB), Taiwan Semi (TSM), and the massive contract volume in IBIT.

  • Defense Sector Alert: Why newcomer Anduril (ONDS) and Palantir (PLTR) are seeing a surge in call activity as defense stocks light up the tape.

  • The Top 10 Countdown: Nvidia (NVDA): Still the undisputed #1 with 3.5M contracts—did the 185 calls leave buyers out in the cold?

    • Meta (META): A look at the 645 weeklies and why the intraday high teased a massive payout that didn’t quite hold.

    • Netflix (NFLX): Chasing the “Par” strike as the post-deal momentum continues.

    • Tesla (TSLA): Analyzing the heavy volume in the 400-strike puts.

  • Tech Check: Brief looks at Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), and Amazon (AMZN).
