NDX’s ‘Highly Unusual’ Drop and NFLX Earnings Selloff: What It Means for Tech

What stands out
Kevin Davitt flagged a "highly unusual" episode where the Nasdaq-100 fell sharply while traders bought short-dated calls, a pairing that suggests investors wanted to remain linked to market upside without owning big tech names directly. He also examined Netflix's post-earnings selloff and heavy options flow, using that example to show how conviction and hedging are shifting inside streaming names. The clip is notable because it pairs an index-level behavior with a single-stock options trade to illustrate changing risk appetite in tech.
