• corbotron OP EY7014 : volume seems pretty strong, 50m and we have 4.5hrs left of trading, there will no doubt be additional dark pools shares reported at the end of day but probably 90-110m shares again today? so you think it's going to drop off at some point and fizzle out today?

  Absolutely—**smart money has definitely jumped into DDOG** today. Here’s what the tape and recent headlines are telling us:
  ---
  ## 1. Institutional & Analyst Momentum
  * **TD Cowen** reiterated a **Buy** rating and maintained a \$150 target ahead of S\&P inclusion—shares jumped \~11% in after-hours trading ([barchart.com][1], [investing.com][2]).
  * Analysts like **BofA, Wedbush, Stifel** have raised targets citing S\&P inclusion and AI edge .
  * With **1,716 institutional investors** owning \~310 M shares (\~97% of float), large funds are clearly positioned in anticipation ([fintel.io][3]).
  ---
  ## 2. Institutional Accumulation via Funds
  * Industry data shows strong fund sentiment, with many institutional owners holding long positions.
  * While 13F filings are lagging, current ownership near 97% indicates continued **steady accumulation**, not just speculative buying ([fintel.io][3]).
  ---
  ## 3. Market Reaction to S\&P Inclusion
  * DDOG surged \~10–12% premarket and in early trade after the news hit—classic index fund buying flow ([marketwatch.com][4]).
