32 Million in Meta Puts Hit in a 22-Second Window

Meta started the week with a 4% rally, and right into that pop, someone slammed about 32 million dollars into puts, five of six tickets printing inside a 22-second window, almost all at or above the ask. That speed is the signal. The flow splits into two bets: roughly 14 million expiring in four days ahead of any catalyst, betting the pop fades fast, and about 18 million reaching through the November earnings print. It runs straight against the street's 805 average target. 📊 tastylive: https://www.tastylive.com/ 📰 Get Tom's pre-market analysis every morning: https://www.tastylive.com/newsletters 📘 FREE Options Strategy Guide: https://tinyurl.com/bp9ms763 📱 Follow tastylive on X: https://x.com/tastyliveshow Chapters 00:00 Meta rallies, someone buys puts 00:30 Six tickets, a 22-second window 00:59 The flow splits into two horizons 01:20 The immediate fade bet 02:00 The trades that reach through earnings 02:51 Why it runs against Wall Street 03:21 The Muse upgrade story 03:50 The case for downside protection 04:30 Why a long holder would hedge 05:40 Urgency is the signal, not a short #tastylive #signalvsnoise #meta #optionsflow #putbuying #hedging #earnings #ai #optionstrading #stockmarket tastylive is a real financial network, producing hours of live programming every day.
