WS #16534
Institutional investors are actively hedging against the current volatility. A 2,000-contract neutral call block on the S&P 500 at the $7,800 strike, worth $88.58 million, signals that large players are protecting against a breakout in either direction but leaning towards downside protection given the tech selloff. Additionally, a $157 million dark pool block in META suggests institutional accumulation or rebalancing away from public markets, indicating that smart money is positioning for a volatile close.
