Unusual activity often serves as an early signal of significant moves ahead. Today, several high-profile companies have caught the attention of deep-pocketed investors and market watchers alike, showing marked spikes in options volume that traders should not overlook. From bullish bets on tech giants to bearish stances on industry leaders, this options trading news offers valuable insight for traders hunting for the next big opportunity.

$AVGO Broadcom continues to attract notable interest from smart money, with options traders showing a clear bullish tilt despite a slight price dip today. The presence of deep-pocketed investors deploying significant capital in AVGO options suggests anticipation of a major event or directional move. Trading volume for AVGO options is substantially higher than average, a pattern often preceding volatility. Given Broadcom robust market cap ($1.38T) and stable upward trend supported by strong moving averages, this unusual activity signals a critical juncture for traders to watch.

$BE Bloom Energy’s options activity reveals a split but predominantly bearish sentiment among whales. Out of 45 trades tracked, a sizable 48% are bearish positions, with a hefty volume of puts worth $290,777 and calls totaling over $3.6 million. The recent price surge (+4.20%) contrasts with the bearish options bets, indicating that some investors might be hedging or anticipating a correction. With a high RSI of 75.10 suggesting overbought conditions, traders should carefully evaluate Bloom’s momentum for potential downside risk.

$COIN Coinbase Global is facing conspicuous bearish pressure from large institutional options players. Our data flagged 112 unusual trades, with 61 puts valued at over $9.1 million dwarfing the $2.6 million in calls. This bearish skew aligns with COIN recent 6.34% price decline and sideways trading trend, highlighting cautious sentiment despite the company’s substantial market cap ($76.56B). The imbalance in open interest suggests further downside or volatility, making COIN a critical watch for risk-managed options strategies.

$PLTR Palantir Technologies sees a significant bullish push from whales betting heavily on calls. Of the 346 trades tracked, 237 calls worth $17.3 million outnumber 109 puts at $7.9 million, indicating strong confidence in PLTR upward potential. The stock recent 7.85% gain and RSI at a robust 74.07 underscore an aggressive uptrend. Smart money’s concentration in PLTR options confirms growing bullish sentiment, making this a compelling target to ride momentum-driven moves in the tech sector.

$PM Philip Morris International stands out for its predominantly bearish options interest. Among 13 trades, 61% are bearish with puts valued at $748,375 versus just $165,689 in calls. The options market tells a different story one where deep-pocketed investors are hedging or betting on declines. PM’s current downtrend and relatively low RSI (39.23) reinforce this caution.

$W Wayfair’s options market has seen a notable uptick in bullish interest, with whales positioning for a potential breakout. Options volume is considerably elevated, pointing to expectations of significant moves. The stock’s solid uptrend, supported by a strong RSI near 79, reflects underlying strength that smart money is ready to capitalize on.
