Roughly twelve million dollars of Tesla calls went through in thirteen separate orders across five expirations, and every single one lifted the offer or paid above it. Nobody sold a call into the tape at all. Complete one sidedness like that is rarer than size.
The more useful part is the ladder. Tomorrow's expiry is a straight gamble on tonight's event, the September line buys follow through, the deep in the money October block is really stock replacement, and the December and January lines are betting on something else entirely. Education, not a recommendation.
