My options indicator is LIVE on TradingView. I allow up to 10 strikes per instance of the indicator, and you can toggle between cumulative volume or seeing individual strikes.

It was approximately 70 minutes from flash to bang on the $GME CHX trade/options.
That’s over $10 million in options premium in basically a single block. Pretty crazy.
I heard a great analogy recently, and I use it for looking for $GME swaps:
It is widely understood that there is a black hole at the center of each galaxy, which pulls the stars and planets around it in an elliptical orbit.
We have never seen a black hole because by definition, it must be invisible to us. We still understand that it exists because of how the stars and planets move around an invisible point.
There is an invisible force pulling on everything, determining how it moves. This invisible force can be given an equation to characterize the strength and direction of the pull of each of the stars, and we call that gravity.
Without going deeper than that, we give gravity an equation that is used the mass of the object, and how close a secondary object is to it.
The same goes for the stock market. If you look at a swap (or even a stacked options chain) like the black hole, and the proximity can be changed with time until expiration, and mass changed with notional value of the swap… then we can see the effect that the swap has on the price of the stock as expiration approaches 0.
We can’t see the swap, and they likely aren’t reported to show size, but we can definitely see the strength of the pull being exerted on the stock.
As the pull becomes so overwhelming that it causes the price action of GME to be completely independent of the rest of the market and normal forces acting upon the market… we can say with relative confidence that swap expiration is upon us. (As long as the options chain isn’t the culprit)
It looks like each day now, a different $GME strike is getting heavy volume/$$$ going through it.
Today, it is the June 20, 2025 $20 calls. So far today, nearly 6k volume
Last year, the Bitcoin/Ethereum tanked in mid May then recovered with the “yen carry trade” event in August. The Bitcoin/Ethereum ratio just did the exact same thing today… just about a year after the last time. What will cause it to recover this time 🧐
