The session read

Tuesday saw solid bullish options activity with a 1.25 call-to-put ratio across 11,690 prints generating $605.9M in premium. Tech mega-caps dominated flow—GOOG led at $168.8M, followed by NVDA, META, TSLA, and AMZN. The bias scored 72 bullish, but a notable $4.3M put block in TLT caught attention, signaling some hedging interest in longer-dated treasuries. Traders were building bullish exposure while keeping fixed income risks on the radar.

Largest single print of the session: a $4.3M PUT in $TLT.
