$ANF bullish sentiment dominated the tape with over $1.7M in call premium traded—an outsized move compared to its $3.6B market cap. Despite a sideways trend and RSI sitting at 52, this kind of directional betting suggests that big players are eyeing a breakout or continuation of its recent momentum, especially after today's 5.44% gain.

$COP saw a more cautious lean. While call volume outpaced puts, the overall direction appeared mixed. With shares stuck in a downtrend and trading near the lower end of their 52-week range, this might be more about hedging than conviction—especially with the broader energy complex still fighting macro headwinds.

$CVNA saw clear whale interest with bullish trades dominating. The stock has been on a monster run, up nearly 3% today and sitting near its 52-week high. The RSI of 68 tells us it's pushing toward overbought territory, but when the tape lights up like this, it usually means someone expects more juice is left in the move.

$FDX the options flow leaned heavily bearish, with puts dominating and very little bullish interest from whales. With shares trending lower and the RSI barely above neutral, this could be a signal that insiders see near-term downside—even if the broader market stays firm.

$FICO plunged over 11% and yet managed to attract a wave of bearish options activity. Given its high valuation and dramatic price drop, today’s tape may be signaling that institutional traders believe there’s more pain ahead for the credit scoring giant.

$LLY attracted a deluge of bullish activity—50 calls versus 13 puts, totaling nearly $10M in call premium. Although the stock is trending lower and its RSI is under 41, this may reflect accumulation ahead of a catalyst. When this much money flows into upside exposure, it’s rarely random.

$MA with 15 call contracts dominating 6 put trades. The stock is already in an uptrend, and the options activity suggests continued confidence in the payments space. Notably, volume and open interest suggest institutional players are eyeing a near-term move higher.

$MCHP despite being in an uptrend, bearish trades outweighed bullish ones. With 12 puts versus 5 calls, traders could be bracing for a pullback—even after today’s 4.43% gain. The RSI of 61 shows it's not yet overbought, but perhaps nearing resistance.

$NOW with 30 call trades dwarfing 12 puts. Already in a strong uptrend with RSI nearing 65, traders appear to be positioning for a fresh breakout—likely driven by upcoming earnings or product news.

$SBUX saw balanced but bullish-leaning activity with a $2.5M call volume. The stock is still meandering sideways, but the size of today’s trades suggests confidence in an upcoming move. RSI around 53 means there's room to run.

$ZM attracted bearish bets again today, with puts more than quadrupling call premium. The stock dipped slightly and remains in a sideways grind. This is the kind of options tape that often shows insiders expecting further weakness—possibly due to soft demand or deteriorating fundamentals.
