Large Trades

A synthetic call position worth $1.55 million stood out as the largest displayed trade, pairing a bought 35.0 call with a sold 15.0 put, both expiring on 2027-12-17, and both established for 4,997 contracts. Using the combined transaction value of the two legs, this structure carries a clearly bullish bias because it replicates long stock exposure with upside participation through the long call and downside obligation through the short put. The sold 15.0 put was out-of-the-money versus the $16.40 reference price, while the bought 35.0 call was also out-of-the-money, showing the trader is willing to finance part of a long-term upside bet by taking on downside assignment risk below 15.0.

Overall, this was a sizable bullish synthetic long expressing confidence in SOFI over a long-dated horizon.

A call purchase worth $1.20 million was the other highlighted trade, consisting of 6,679 contracts of the 15.0 call expiring on 2026-11-20. With SOFI referenced at $16.40, this strike was already in-the-money, which makes the trade a more direct bullish expression with meaningful delta exposure rather than a far-out upside lottery ticket. Strategically, buying an in-the-money call at this size suggests the trader wants leveraged upside participation while limiting capital outlay versus owning shares outright, and it also signals conviction that SOFI can continue to hold above or extend beyond current levels into late 2026.

Overall, the large-trade flow leans clearly bullish on SOFI. The tone of the order flow was shaped by aggressive upside positioning in long calls and, most notably, by the sizable long-dated synthetic call structure, which signals willingness to take on risk for future appreciation rather than merely harvest short-term premium. Although there was some bearish protection and a small amount of neutral-to-slightly-bearish premium-selling activity elsewhere in the tape, the dominant character of the bulk orders points to investors positioning for further upside in SOFI rather than bracing for a sustained decline.

Options

$SpaceX(SPCX)$ closed at $148.58, rising 1.14%. Large options trades showed a clear bearish tilt, headlined by a $450,000 net credit synthetic put that sold $200.00 calls and bought $120.00 puts expiring September 17, 2027. A second major block used a $438,000 net debit long call-plus-put structure for November 13, 2026, positioning for a large move.

Large Trades

A synthetic put structure with a $450,000 net credit was the largest displayed trade, combining the sale of 2,000 Sep. 17, 2027 $200.00 calls and the purchase of 2,000 Sep. 17, 2027 $120.00 puts. With SPCX referenced at $148.58, the short call was out of the money and the long put was also out of the money, creating a bearish synthetic position that benefits from downside in the underlying while collecting premium upfront.

Strategically, this looks like a longer-dated directional bearish bet, with the trader expressing conviction that upside will remain capped while also seeking downside exposure through the put leg.

A $438,000 net debit CALL+PUT two-leg position was the other highlighted block, pairing the purchase of 1,500 Nov. 13, 2026 $135.00 puts with the purchase of 1,500 Nov. 13, 2026 $170.00 calls. Both options were out of the money versus the $148.58 reference price, making this a long volatility-style combination that pays for exposure to a sizable move in either direction. The net debit indicates premium outlay rather than premium collection, so the strategic intent appears to be a directional breakout or volatility bet rather than income generation, with the trader positioning for SPCX to move meaningfully away from the current price by expiration.

Overall, the bulk-order flow leans bearish. The most important signal is that the single largest highlighted trade was a longer-dated synthetic put opened for credit, which is a strong negative directional expression, and the full large-trade mix also shows heavier downside-oriented activity than upside-related flow.

While there was some two-sided positioning through the long call-plus-put combination and some bullish premium-selling elsewhere in the tape, the dominant message from the largest orders is that institutional traders were more focused on downside exposure and defensive or bearish positioning than on chasing further upside.
