🚨BALLISTIC: Reading the Whales Through the Chaos (Powell Speaking)

📰 YEET: Flow Before the Fed — Reading the Whales Through the Chaos

The market’s been moving like it’s on caffeine and NyQuil at the same time — violent bursts up, just to slump right back down. But beneath that noise, whale behavior has stayed razor-specific.

Heading into Powell’s remarks, we’re not guessing direction — we’re decoding it. This issue strips out everything but flow filters, our most direct lens into what the largest players are actually betting on:

• 🧲 SPY Magic — smart-money alignment; where size meets subtlety.

• 🦄 SPY Unicorn — rare, high-conviction flows that historically front-run major turns.

• 🚀 SPY Ballistic — aggressive directional orders that show real intent, not noise.

Together, these filters give us a near-X-ray of whale positioning through volatility — what’s being loaded, what’s being dumped, and what’s being disguised.

The question we’re answering today isn’t what will Powell say — it’s what are the whales already saying with their money before he even opens his mouth.

SPY MAGIC: The Flagship Unusual Whales SPY Filter

One put order—not enough data to work with

SPY UNICORN: More risk-on whales, 70% hit rate as opposed to 90% with Magic so what we look for is confluence (multiple orders signaling the same movement), or laddering (progressive out the money orders that escalate consecutively in a direction)

What’s key here is the statistics favor that the 662 and 663c go in the money at some point before tomorrow—these calls combined with Price Action are why we took the 660c calls in The Garden for a quick profit.

BUT there is a caution—notice that order at the top. That is a break in “The Ladder”—our term for progressive directional OTM betting by whales.

Magic Says: IF the market doesn’t tank on Powell, there’s a good chance in the short term we see 663+
