Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) caught serious attention today as deep-pocketed traders made unusual moves in the options market. Our scan of options activity revealed a bullish tilt among institutional players, signaling confidence in ANF future. The stock is trading at $78.50, slightly down on the day, but still riding an uptrend with a healthy RSI of 50.33. While its 200-day moving average sits far above at $118.15, the 20-day and 50-day averages are showing support. These option trades could be front-running a potential catalyst, making this a name to watch closely.

Devon Energy (DVN) has seen 11 unusual options trades today, with 72% of the volume skewing bullish. This comes as the stock trades at $34.27, amid a broader sideways trend. The trades included $233,930 in calls and $295,495 in puts, reflecting a cautious but optimistic tone among institutional investors. DVN fundamentals, such as a P/E of 7.8 and a beta of 1.03, make it appealing in volatile markets. Options players may be anticipating a breakout from its tight trading range, so keep this one on your radar.

Home Depot (HD) saw 12 unusual options trades today, split almost evenly between bulls and bears, reflecting uncertainty among large investors. Trading at $362.47, HD remains in a sideways pattern, hovering around its 20-day and 50-day moving averages. The trades included $587K in puts and $493K in calls, showing that some are hedging while others bet on upside. With a market cap of $360B and an RSI near 45, volatility could be incoming, especially if macro data shakes up the housing sector.

IBM had a massive spike in call options, with 30 of 33 trades today leaning bullish and totaling over $1.36M in call premiums. The stock trades at $280.78, just below its 52-week high and firmly in an uptrend with an RSI of 72.92, suggesting it’s near overbought territory. Still, the momentum is undeniable. Institutional players are targeting the $210–$300 range, and this kind of activity often precedes earnings moves or strategic announcements. With a low beta (0.66) and defensive posture, IBM may be seen as a safe growth play.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR) experienced 18 unusual options trades, heavily skewed toward calls with $800K in bullish bets versus just $130K in puts. Although the stock pulled back 1.06% to $134.81, the bullish options flow aligns with its strong uptrend, supported by a 14-day RSI of 61. With PLTR’s incredible 52-week range from $21.23 to $139.75, the recent momentum suggests traders are betting on continued strength. Its high beta (2.64) implies more volatility ahead, perfect for short-term options traders.

Rigetti Computing (RGTI) saw 10 unusual options trades, mostly leaning bearish despite the stock’s uptrend. At $12.17, shares fell 2.68%, and options flow suggests caution, with 50% bearish trades and only 30% bullish. The puts totaled $98K, while calls hit $356K, indicating that although sentiment leans negative, there's still speculative upside interest. With a 52-week high of $21.42 and a speculative profile, RGTI is becoming a battleground stock among aggressive traders.

Rocket Lab USA (RKLB) saw 10 notable options trades today, 60% bullish, totaling $534K in calls against $360K in puts. The stock dipped 3.31% to $26.45, but technicals show it remains in an uptrend with a 52 RSI and solid short-term support from its 20-day and 50-day MAs. With a beta of 2.08, RKLB is no stranger to volatility, making it a favorite among short-term options traders looking to catch big swings.

SoFi Technologies (SOFI) experienced a flurry of 40 unusual options trades, with a clear bullish skew: 35 call trades totaling over $2.62M, versus just 5 puts. Even as the stock slid 0.90% to $14.92, the overall trend is up, with an RSI of 66.5 signaling strong momentum. SoFi high call activity suggests investors are eyeing a potential breakout above its 52-week high of $18.42. If the bullish bets pan out, SOFI could be gearing up for a significant move.
