What to Watch
Premium in VRTX ran 22.1× its recent daily average ($5.2M on the day); premium in PATH ran 15.3× its recent daily average ($1.6M on the day); premium in GILD ran 11.4× its recent daily average ($1.3M on the day). Whether that pace holds is the next session's first question. Executions show size and direction — they do not show who traded, or why.
