$ACN Accenture Whales leaned today with a quietly bullish tone. The volume wasn’t massive, but when large players target a typically steady performer like ACN with sizable call buys, it perks up our radar. Sitting at $316.41, Accenture’s trending higher, comfortably above short- and mid-term moving averages. RSI is neutral at 54.93, giving it room to stretch. The stock hasn’t seen this kind of activity since late 2023. Quiet confidence from the pros? Could be.

$ARM ARM Holdings deep-pocketed investors placed bullish bets. With shares up 1.23% to $130.36, the move coincided with a push through the 20-day and 50-day moving averages, clear signs of momentum building. A triple-digit P/E screams “growth stock,” and the RSI at 57 suggests more upside is possible. Whales may be anticipating a breakout from this consolidation zone. If you’re a momentum chaser, keep this one on your radar.

$BA Boeing On the surface, Boeing $211.98 price tag is just below recent highs, and options flow was heavy, but bearish. Of the 24 notable trades, 66% leaned bearish. Interestingly, the stock is in an uptrend with a strong RSI of 71.98, hinting at overbought conditions. Could this be smart money hedging after the rally? Possibly. Or are they expecting turbulence ahead? Either way, retail traders should be cautious here, this could swing either direction fast.

$DG Dollar General Options flow shows a strong bearish tilt, despite the stock being up over 70% from its 52-week low. At $111.77, Dollar General is technically in an uptrend, but with such lopsided bearish sentiment, this smells like skepticism about the rally’s sustainability. If you're long, this might be a good time to protect gains. If you’re short-biased, this flow may support your thesis.

$HD Home Depot even as the stock holds strong at $372.40. It’s in an uptrend, RSI is balanced at 54.95, and it sits just above its moving averages. The bearish stance might reflect macro worries or positioning ahead of earnings. There’s no clear technical breakdown, so unless we see follow-through tomorrow, this may just be hedging. Still, worth watching closely.

$MRK Merck & Co saw 30 unusual trades, with a dominant 60% bullish tone. Shares rose 1.47% to $78.27, and while technically in a downtrend, today’s flow could be signaling a turning point. With a low beta and solid fundamentals, Merck could be the kind of “reversal play” that cautious bulls are looking for.

$MU Micron Technology The bullish options flow came in strong as the stock climbed 0.98% to $103.25, holding its uptrend and pushing toward its 52-week high of $157.54. RSI at 69.73 is nearing overbought, but momentum remains. With earnings behind us and AI tailwinds still a narrative, the whales might be positioning for a second wave higher.

$NFLX Netflix was loud today, lots of call buying, but interestingly, more trades overall were bearish. At $1239.66, shares are just shy of a new high. This might be profit-taking masked as hedging. Still, NFLX has shrugged off every dip lately, and when that many whales get involved, it usually means volatility ahead. Buckle up.

$TSLA Tesla whopping 376 unusual trades. Half was bearish. Nearly $15M went into puts. The stock fell 3.55% to $332.05, its first sharp pullback in weeks. Tesla’s been on a tear, so this looks like institutions positioning for either a correction or hedging after a big run. RSI is still healthy at 54.15, but the mood has clearly shifted. For the retail trader: this is not the time to get complacent.

$U Unity Software saw an odd divergence today: the stock dipped slightly, but whale activity exploded with bearish sentiment. With U at $26.06 and way above its 20- and 50-day averages, traders seem split on whether this is a recovery or just a dead cat bounce. RSI is high at 66.08, and bears may be betting this rally has run its course. High volume confirms the battle is real. Watch how this one reacts to any tech-sector weakness.
