What the institutional money is doing on DTM right now — dark pool, options positioning, and where the news and the money disagree. Free.
No new option positions detected for DTM despite the analyst churn, and dark-pool activity remains subdued relative to the stock's own baseline, suggesting institutions are not yet reacting to the broader market inflection point.
Volatility is rising, but the put-to-call ratio (0.12) remains deeply call-heavy and short-squeeze pressure is low (25/100), indicating the volatility is not yet translating into defensive positioning.
Dark-pool short-selling is well below the stock's norm (36.5% vs. 62.1%), which typically signals quiet accumulation, but the absence of new option positions and the extremely low put-to-call ratio (0.12) suggest conviction is muted rather than building.
No money signals specific to DTM are available from this review; the stock's own positioning data shows no new conviction.
The earnings call highlights organic growth, but no new option positions have opened and dark-pool short-selling remains unusually light (36.5% vs. 62.1% norm), suggesting institutions are watching rather than committing fresh capital on the news.
A divergence is when the news narrative and the institutional money flow point in opposite directions — a bearish headline while large call premium is bought, or heavy dark-pool selling under a bullish story. It signals the crowd and the desks may disagree.
Dark-pool volume — The share of trading executed off-exchange, at wholesalers and dark pools. About half of all US share volume prints there on an ordinary day, so the level by itself says almost nothing. What carries information is the distance from this name’s own recent norm, and whether the off-exchange size ran above its usual.
Off-exchange short share — How much of that off-exchange volume was sold short. The median across all listed names is about 49%, because wholesalers filling retail buy orders sell short and cover later. A reading near half is plumbing, not a bearish vote — compare it to the same name’s own 20-day norm.
Max pain — The price where the most options expire worthless — positioning often gravitates toward it near expiry.
Call wall / Put floor — Strikes with the heaviest call/put open interest — they often act as short-term resistance and support.
Put/Call ratio — Below ~0.7 leans bullish (more calls); above ~1 leans defensive (more puts).
