When the whales start swimming, it’s worth paying attention. Options tape was buzzing with major moves from institutions and deep-pocketed investors. Here's a breakdown of the most eye-catching unusual options activity spotted across nine big names:
AMGN Amgen saw 14 unusually large options trades today, with 11 puts totaling nearly $692K and just 3 calls worth $114K. A whopping 57% of the flow leaned bearish, suggesting heavy hedging or outright short bets. With the stock trading near $290 and stuck in a sideways trend, the smart money might be bracing for downside. Watch for volatility if $AMGN breaks below its 20-day MA of $282.71.
APLD Despite a 3.46% dip, options activity in Applied Digital was buzzing. Of the 17 unusual trades, 15 were calls valued over $780K, compared to just 2 puts. This bullish skew hints at accumulation during weakness. With the stock still in an uptrend and RSI at a healthy 55, dip buyers could be positioning for another leg higher.
BX Blackstone posted 9 notable options trades with nearly equal bullish and bearish split. The 5 puts were valued at $289K, slightly outweighing 4 calls worth $244K. With the stock trending sideways and RSI below 50, institutions seem cautious but engaged. Any break above its 20-day MA ($140.40) could shift sentiment quickly.
CAH Cardinal Health Whales is in a clear uptrend, closing at $165.40, just shy of its 52-week high. The options tape showed sizable activity, with a bullish tilt. Whales aren’t tipping their full hand, but the timing near resistance hints at anticipation of a breakout. RSI sits near 77, so a pullback or pop is on the table. Traders, stay alert.
DELL Dell attracted 22 unusual trades today, evenly split between bulls and bears. However, the 15 calls totaled over $783K, dwarfing the 7 puts at $491K. With the stock up and RSI at 61, the smart money may be positioning for more upside, especially as $DELL holds above key moving averages.
DIS Disney saw 15 unusual trades with 66% showing bearish intent. Although more calls (11) than puts (4) traded, total put value came in at $156K, suggesting some defensive positioning. Still, the stock is in an uptrend and RSI is at 65. Could be a hedge against recent gains or a signal of caution ahead.
HIMS Options volume in $HIMS surged with 20 unusual trades, of which 18 were calls valued at over $1.03M. RSI sits at a strong 62, and the stock is climbing with conviction. Bulls clearly dominate here, and with the price far above its 200-day MA, momentum traders may want to take note.
HUBS HubSpot's 10 notable options trades today leaned heavily toward the bull side, with 8 calls vs. 2 puts. While volume wasn't massive, the trend is telling. With the stock down 1.87% but still riding above long-term support, today's activity may point to a near-term bounce attempt from current levels.
RBLX Roblox continues to ride its uptrend with a 1.51% gain today and strong RSI at 81. Of 11 unusual trades, 7 were calls, signaling continued bullish sentiment from big money. Total call value hit $296K, more than double the puts. With the stock near its 52-week high, eyes are on $103.03 for a clean breakout.
