🐋 Divergent Whales Gave Away the Trump Reaction — How?
SPY Magic and NEW Filter Upgrade: BAT Filter Ultra
🐋 Divergent Whales Call the Trump Reaction — How?
Right up until Trump took the mic to talk China, trade, and tariffs, SPY was cruising steady — and if you only watched price, it looked calm. But the flow told another story.
📉 The Tells Before the Fall
In the first image, you can see what most missed: a cluster of 670p puts (expiring 11/07) quietly loading up even as price stayed flat.
While retail saw calm, smart money was buying downside into strength.
And just like clockwork, the market dropped nearly three points into the close once Trump’s comments hit the wire.
To most, it looked like a reaction.
To us, it was confirmation.
🔀 Flow-Price Divergence: When Whales Swim Against the Current
This is a textbook case of Flow-Price Divergence — when whales move opposite the tape.
Price rising, but puts stacking = 🟥 Distribution, not a breakout.
Price dropping, but calls loading = 🟩 Accumulation, not panic.
The next image nails this concept: while SPY ticked higher intraday, we saw put ladders (670–671–672p) keep forming in the opposite direction.
That’s the flow saying “don’t trust the green.”
The result?
Two intrasession dumps right where divergence peaked.
🦇 Enter: The BAT Filter
Divergence isn’t just for SPY.
That’s why YEET Plus uses the BAT Filter — short for Bought Against Trend.
It tracks when whales fade the tape, buying the dip or selling the rip with serious conviction.
That’s today’s BAT Filter lineup (updated version for YEET Plus subscribers — link below).
When we toggle for puts, since they were against price for most of the day, we get a snapshot of where big money may be leaning.
