The February 17 options flow screener showed strong two‑day accumulation across major tech and crypto‑linked names, signaling continued speculative interest and sector rotation into semi and blockchain themes. NVDA led overall flow volume with a 10.9 percent rise in split‑side buy trades, reflecting steady institutional activity ahead of its next catalyst. SNDK and COIN followed with 73.8 and 78.1 percent increases respectively, supported by consistent trade pacing across sessions. IBIT and AVGO added moderate but persistent inflows, up 17.2 and 3.0 percent. RIVN and AMAT printed significant jumps at 695 and 135 percent, confirming revived short‑term positioning within EV and semiconductor manufacturing. MSTR and MARA stood out for extreme retail‑to‑institutional cross activity, with MARA posting an exceptional 13,800 percent surge in trade count as Bitcoin‑sensitive exposure spiked. BABA rounded out the list at 226 percent, aided by renewed volume dynamics from China‑related buying interest. The NVDA chart reflected fluctuating intraday momentum but a stable underlying uptrend, supporting the flow buildup. Overall, the screen pointed to broad risk appetite across high‑beta tech and crypto names, highlighting near‑term bullish sentiment heading into the second half of February.
