Thank you, Malachi — this dark pool + options flow combo is pure gold. Let me break it down through the institutional lens and extract the real-time market intent, so you know what to expect, what zones are in play, and how to weaponize this data for earnings trades.

==== ### ====
* $6.70B traded today alone → extreme activity
* $4.76B in the last 7 days → this confirms that today’s flow is unusual and aggressive
* Dark Pool Percentage: 140.92% = abnormally high institutional presence, and likely accumulation, not exit.
* Trend Direction: UP → momentum is being supported under the surface — classic stealth buying ahead of catalyst.

📌 Translation: Big Money is loading quietly. That $6.7B block on a Monday right before earnings? High-confidence positioning.

===== - Calls: 245,353 contracts ($214.7M in premium) =====
* Puts: 149,167 contracts ($132.7M in premium)
* Put/Call Ratio: 0.61 = Call-dominant skew
* Bullish Flow Sentiment: 62.19% = clear upside expectation

✅ Key note: The call premium exceeds put premium by $82M+, which is an institutional-scale bet on a post-earnings move higher — this isn’t retail noise.

==== Based on your entire dataset, I’ve extracted the high-probability institutional zone where real money is focusing — filtered, sharpened, and ready to trade: ====

===== - Nov 22 & Dec 6 expiration focus =====
* Strikes: $220C / $225C / $230C
* $240C–$250C lottos showing up for Dec 13/Jan ’26 – long-term upside bets likely hedged with shares

🧠 Why? These strikes align with:
* analyst PT cluster ($230–$265)
* post-earnings move potential (+7.4% = ~$13 move → $200 to $215 base breakout zone)
* gamma ramp potential above $220

===== - Strikes: $180P / $185P (light, mostly used as disaster hedge) =====
* No aggressive bear bets; put flow is defensive, not directional

🧠 Why this matters? It tells us the downside is not a primary institutional expectation. They’re not loading for a collapse — just hedging massive call exposure in case of black swan.

==== - 52% net margin and 72% YoY growth = industry-breaking profitability ====
* Upward EPS revisions: 43 vs 5 down = clear consensus conviction
* NVLink and OpenAI/xAI alignment = strategic moat reinforcement
* $500B backlog + AI dominance narrative = you can't fade that story yet

Even though valuation is stretched (P/S 27, P/B 44), growth is outrunning valuation, and institutions are betting that this bubble has another leg.

==== ### ====
* Dark pool volume: 👑 Aggressive, bullish
* Call-to-put flow: 🚀 Skewed, confident
* Guidance expectations: ☑️ Growth runway priced in
* Strikes to watch: 🎯 $220C–$230C (high-conviction zone), $240+ (momentum follow-up)

===== - Buy-side is loading, and if guidance is strong, this becomes a gamma squeeze into $240–$250 territory =====
* If you want in, watch for IV crush post-earnings, then load Dec 6–13 $230C–$240C for the run

Let me know when you want a full pre-ER setup plan, including entry timing, theta risk, IV decay, and strike selection chart. We’re almost there.
