$CRWV — The Nvidia Deal
- CoreWeave (ticker CRWV) recently announced a $6.3 billion agreement with NVIDIA (NVDA).
- Under the deal, NVIDIA will purchase any unsold cloud computing capacity from CoreWeave through April 2032. That acts as a “take-or-pay” backstop, helping to guarantee revenue even if demand is slower than expected.
- For CRWV, it means their AI cloud infrastructure data centers hosting NVIDIA GPUs get a safety net against underutilization.
- The market responded quickly: CRWV’s stock jumped ~ 8% on the announcement.

📈 $CRWV Options Flow
- $19M in ask‐side call sweeps came in on Friday, Sept 12 right before the NVDA-CRWV news was announced that weekend.
- The unusual options flow likely wasn’t random, it strongly suggests that some traders had early insight into the upcoming partnership.
- This options flow was very high in premium, signaling strong conviction. The Calls were exclusively ask side sweeps- a clear sign of urgent buys. These Calls hit the flow in the afternoon and continued to be bought up as the price increased. Very bullish.
- The calls hit up to 80% peak returns within the following week which is very significant given that the contracts don’t expire for another year.
- This highly unusual options flow was posted in our Discord with several members following that trade because of how unusual it looked. While not every good looking options flow leads to market moving news, this one turned out to be a textbook example.

$NFE — $4B Deal Announcement
- New Fortress Energy (ticker NFE) struck a multi-year contract to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Puerto Rico. The deal is said to be worth approximately $4 billion over 7 years.
- The agreement is intended to help Puerto Rico shift from diesel and high-emission fuels toward natural gas, reducing costs and emissions.
- This LNG contract had been under review by Puerto Rico’s oversight board, but its announcement sent investor sentiment surging.
- Before the deal, NFE had been under financial pressure: significant losses, a strategic review underway, and weak balance sheet metrics.

📈 $NFE Options Flow
- The options flow alert in our #swing-flow channel caught large call sweeps over 10% out of the money.
- The contract prices kept climbing as buyers continued to load up, showing clear urgency and conviction since they were willing to keep buying even as premiums got more expensive.
- The stock gained 37% before the bell the next day due to the news of the $4B deal. This sent the call options flying to 172% peak returns just 1 day after the flow was posted in our Discord.

⚡ $MIR 300%+ Returns in 1 Day
- On Thursday, we posted $1.15M of $MIR unusual flow targeting the $20 strike expiring Oct 17 calls in the #swing-flow channel on Discord.
- Fast forward to Friday and those same contracts are already up 300%.
- This is exactly why our community follows the options flow scanner so closely. Coordinated call activity of this size often signals smart money positioning ahead of a major move.
- To put it in perspective, $MIR typically averages just $88.9K in total unusual options activity per day across both puts and calls. Yet in this case, we saw a massive $1.15M in bullish call premium concentrated in a single contract. This kind of flow is extremely unusual and often well worth paying attention to.
$CRWV $NFE and $MIR are clear examples that unusual options activity can give traders an actionable edge — and when spotted early within Bullflow’s Alerts or Discord, the returns can be massive.
