The activity ties to a well-known hedge fund, though attribution remains unconfirmed. If sustained, the flow could support near-term volatility into October expiration, especially as Micron's results spark broader memory-name momentum.

  • Cramer notes $90M-plus short-dated call flow across memory and chip names.
  • Intel Oct 2 calls at $115 strike worth about $3.8M.
  • Leopold Aschenbrenner-linked flow; attribution unconfirmed.
  • Memory peers Micron and Sandisk rally amid the flow.
