Options flow on August 12, 2026 leaned moderately bullish with 500K prints totaling $305.3M in premium and a 1.14 call-to-put ratio favoring upside. SPY and QQQ dominated the tape at $78.2M and $64.8M respectively, while mega-cap tech—NVDA, TSLA, META—combined for over $111M. The constructive bias faced some headwind from a notable $2.2M put block in IWM, signaling hedging interest in small-caps and suggesting traders weren't fully committed to risk-on positioning.
Largest single print of the session: a $2.2M PUT in $IWM.
