Where Smart Money Is Positioning To Start The Week
Weekly Sector Flow Report | June 9, 2026
Our Substack Just Became A Lot More Valuable.
Starting today, every Monday morning you’re getting something most retail traders never see - a breakdown of where institutional money is actually moving in the options market before the week gets away from you.
Here’s why this matters even if you’ve never bought an option in your life:
Institutional options flow is one of the earliest signals we have. When a hedge fund or market maker drops $50M in call premium on a single name, they’re not gambling, they have a thesis, and they’re sizing into it before the news hits your feed. By the time it’s on CNBC, the move is already half over.
This report exists so you’re reading the same data they are.
Every week I’ll break down the top bullish and bearish premium flows across the market - which sectors are seeing the most conviction, which individual names are being targeted, and what the positioning tells us about where we might be heading. Whether you’re a long-term stock holder, a swing trader, or just trying to understand why a name you own is moving, this is the context you’ve been missing. If you’d like to get your hands on this information everyday of the week you can find the software I trust at Trader Daddy Pro using this discount link.
Let’s get into it.
🔓 FREE SECTION - TOP 3 BULLISH FLOWS
#1 — $MRVL | Bullish Flow $138.6M | 84% Bull | SWEEP
This is the headline trade of the week.
Marvell Technology was added to the S&P 500 index today, with the change taking effect June 22, sending shares surging over 10%. But this isn’t just an index inclusion pop. Last week, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called Marvell “the next trillion-dollar company” at Computex in Taipei, explaining that AI data centers are built on disaggregated computing that only functions with the right connectivity infrastructure — and “that’s the reason why Marvell is so essential.”
This came on top of record Q1 FY27 revenue of $2.418 billion, up 28% year-over-year, with management describing AI-related bookings as “exceptional.” The sweep tag on today’s flow — meaning a single large order ripped across multiple exchanges simultaneously — tells you someone isn’t waiting for a pullback. This is forced buying at the open.
#2 — $SPY | Bullish Flow $207.9M | 59% Bull | UNUSUAL
$207.9M in SPY bullish premium with an “Unusual” tag is the market’s permission slip for everything else on this list.
When institutions hedge upside risk on the index itself, it signals they’re not just long individual names — they’re expressing macro conviction. A 3.95 call/put ratio on a risk-on regime day says the market isn’t pricing a reversal anytime soon. This is the rising tide that floats the boats below.
#3 — $AMD | Bullish Flow $69.2M | 80% Bull | SPLIT
AMD is bouncing back after last week’s chip sector flush.
AMD committed up to £2 billion to accelerate AI innovation and research in the United Kingdom, and announced more than $10 billion in Taiwan ecosystem investments to accelerate AI infrastructure. The 80% bull skew with a split-flow classification means multiple traders across different strike/expiry combinations all leaned the same direction — that’s consensus, not a single whale. With AMD’s next earnings not until August 4, options buyers here are making a multi-week thesis bet that the AI chip narrative re-accelerates after last Friday’s flush.
