What the institutional money is doing on FNV right now — dark pool, options positioning, and where the news and the money disagree. Free.
One advisor's purchase conflicts with off-exchange traders leaning heavily short (79% of dark-pool sales), suggesting institutional insiders are hedging or trimming exposure despite the headline buy.
No options or positioning data ties FNV to this ETF story; dark-pool short-selling remains elevated, suggesting the crypto narrative has not yet moved institutional buyers.
No new options positioning or call-heavy flow appears; dark-pool short activity remains elevated, indicating analysts' enthusiasm has not yet converted to institutional accumulation.
Off-exchange short-selling at 23 points above FNV's norm contradicts the growth narrative; institutions appear to be hedging or exiting, not buying into the dip.
The earnings miss aligns with elevated off-exchange short-selling (79% of dark-pool volume), indicating institutional traders are protecting against downside or trimming positions on the margin squeeze.
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).
