What Does Whale Flow on GME Mean?

GameStop remains one of the most interesting options flow names due to its unique market structure. GME sees periodic whale flow surges driven by short squeeze dynamics, retail coordination, and Keith Gill activity. Institutional flow on GME is a mix of short-sellers hedging, market makers managing gamma exposure, and opportunistic funds positioning for volatility events. GME's elevated IV persists due to squeeze risk, creating rich premium for sellers willing to manage the tail risk. Flow Proof tracks GME flow and flags unusual open interest buildup that may precede volatility events. The system is particularly valuable on GME because it separates institutional-sized trades from the massive retail flow that dominates daily volume.
