Market Tide — Net Options Premium & Sentiment Flow
Market Tide tracks the cumulative dollar flow of call and put premium throughout the trading day, segmented into bullish and bearish components. Where order flow shows individual prints, Market Tide shows the running total — the net pressure of all options activity, weighted by premium spent.

- Cumulative bullish vs bearish premium, intraday
- Divergence and exhaustion signals
- Net pressure rather than individual prints
A rising bullish drift with a flat-to-falling bearish drift signals institutional accumulation. Divergences between price and the tide line often precede reversals: a stalling rally with declining bullish premium tends to roll over, while a selloff into rising bullish flow is frequently absorbed.
Frequently asked questions
How is the tide direction calculated?
Each options print is tagged bullish, bearish, or neutral based on its trade aggression versus the prevailing bid/ask. We then accumulate the dollar premium on each side over the trading day to produce the running tide curves.
What is a tide divergence?
A divergence occurs when price and net premium move in opposite directions — for example, a new high on the chart while the bullish tide flattens or rolls over. Divergences often mark exhaustion or distribution.
Does the tide reset overnight?
Yes — each session starts at zero so you can read the day’s flow without yesterday’s noise. Multi-day comparisons are available in the historical view.
