Opinions on bitcoin, crypto mining companies Whales, Options,

Whales and options collide in the mining-stock arena, and the chatter centers on MARA with a whale-sized 38 C sweep hitting the 03/20/2026 strike. A roughly $412k bet backs that move, signaling big money eyeing the timeframe [1]. Another MARA swing shows a $199k 38c 3/20/26 sweep, about 111% OTM, underscoring a broader bullish tilt [2]. A separate signal points to a 1.3M MARA call buyer, hinting at sustained appetite [5].

MARA Option Flow Pulse - The trio of MARA bets paints a picture of outsized call flow extending into 2026, not a one-off flare [1][2][5].

RIOT Trade Signals - RIOT is getting attention from traders posting “RIOT returns! 89% Prepped Trade!” and noting next-move setups in the hours ahead [6][7]. - The focus isn’t just on RIOT—CLSK shows up in watchlists as mining names ride the broader sentiment [6].

CLSK and Miner Mood - Bitcoin-mining chatter remains buoyant, with many noting Bitcoin miners have been getting love lately [8]. One post calls the volume-to-Open Interest ratio on MARA “insane,” hinting at a potential breakout narrative if the flow persists [8].

Closing thought: when big-money options flow around MARA, paired with RIOT entry signals and CLSK chatter, the near- to mid-term path for mining names looks set to hinge on the next price dance.
