$NVDA - Trades and clusters suppressed in these images to highlight a new feature.

In terms of dollar value, today was the largest aggregate volume day since inception. Dark blue volume bars in the histogram below the chart rank in the top-100. Hover over them to see details.

Five of the last six sessions have registered in the top 100. Three have ranked in the top 10. Interestingly, there were no unusually large individual trades though. Just a lot of aggregate volume across the entire session.

All of this as price tapped the -4 ATR ribbon on the 4H chart this morning, with earnings in a few days.

These types of things are often seen at/near washout lows. Whether today's low holds or not remains to be seen.

Earnings Nov 17.
Opex Nov 20.

@haydenbaldwin10 If price can recapture and remain above, then yes.

@RHerman I'm not sure what you mean by one-off?

[VolumeLeaders @VolumeLeaders]

@PliskinSnak3 They know because … they engineer the outcomes.

$SOXS (3x Inverse $SOXX) - This morning at the open, the largest trade since inception arrived after a 20% move up beginning at 2pm yesterday. Price dropped 10% before 11am.

Ranges remain wide, and with range comes opportunity.

$IAUM - Institutions dropped the 2nd largest trade since inception today. #3 landed two weeks ago at the same spot. #5 arrived last month at the range high (image 3). All were dark pool sweeps.

Near term longs safe above #2 and #3.

@updowninwaves Not letting things go is one of my super powers. I'm pleased to see I'm not the only one afflicted with this gift.

$DDM (2x $DIA) - Never seen this rinkydink ETF so active before.

[VolumeLeaders @VolumeLeaders]

$DDM (2x $DIA) -

#3 - Overshoot + Reversal.
#5 - Undershoot + Reversal.
#4 - ...

FWIW - they threw in #48 just for good measure.

$SMH, $SOXX - Unusual activity yesterday and today.

$VTV - Vanguard Value. 4th largest trade since inception near ATH as price retraces half of last week's big red candelabra. Top holdings include $MU and $JPM.

Speaking of $MU, the largest $MUD (Inverse $MU) trade since inception arrived just before the close...after a rather lengthy decline over the last few weeks. That along with the cluster of large trades near this local high suggests, at least to me, that the bear leverage is being closed out which would be near-term bullish for the underlying.

Lastly, $VTV and $MU don't have to move together.
Hope that is sufficiently confusing.

At this point, you might be thinking: "What about $JPM?"

Well, I don't know. I haven't checked. And I have to go to the bathroom. At my age, this could take hours. But you're welcome to swing by and check for yourself.

@Beep_Bob_Boop I know because a cancel record arrived. Every day, about 100 or so cancel records arrive across various tickers. Some large, some small. It's annoying, but happens.

[VolumeLeaders @VolumeLeaders]

$QQQ - Here's the latest.

#4 was cancelled.
#72 arrived late today.
#11 arrived at the close.

Clusters shown on image two. Size above and size below. "Ain't no happiness nowhere."

And we got some new $UVIX too. Not like we got last week, but something to noodle on overnight.

And $SMH, of course. Because why not?

Images posted out of order because I'm old and stupid. $QQQ trades at the end.

$QQQ - #8 printed at the close yesterday. #4 arrived this morning. Image 3 shows the inventory currently below price at that level ($647.80).

Price is currently tangling w/ the larger level at $661.50 [$8.8B vs $5.6B (and growing)]. As more signature prints arrive, the level at yesterday's close will continue to grow in size. We won't know until the close exactly how large it is as these trades are delayed by up to 24 hours.
