Unusual options activity often hints at where the “smart money” is positioning next. Whether it’s bullish bets, bearish hedges, or mixed sentiment, tracking these moves gives traders an edge.

$AVGO Broadcom saw a flurry of 26 unusual trades, split evenly between bullish and bearish sentiment. The biggest trades included 11 puts worth over $900K and 15 calls valued at $1.75M. At $289.60, the stock is consolidating near the middle of its range, with RSI at 46. A sideways trend suggests big money is undecided—but clearly paying close attention.

$CSCO Cisco Systems attracted 8 significant trades, split evenly between bulls and bears. Notably, call volume outweighed puts in dollar value ($1.28M vs $146K). With shares at $67.01, just under the 50-day average, institutions may be preparing for a move as volatility compresses.

$MSFT Microsoft remains a whale favorite. Out of 20 tracked trades, 65% leaned bullish, with over $1.2M in calls compared to $450K in puts. Shares closed at $504.24, trending sideways after a strong run earlier in the year. Despite near-term consolidation, the smart money seems to be betting on continued strength.

$NET Cloudflare has been the subject of aggressive bullish option activity. Large trades suggest institutions or wealthy investors expect movement ahead. With shares at $192.77 and RSI at 45, the stock is consolidating—potentially setting up for a breakout if momentum kicks in.

$NOW ServiceNow registered 46 unusual options trades, tilting bearish. Roughly $1.24M flowed into puts compared to $1.22M in calls. The stock fell -1.50% to $876.97, stuck in a downtrend with RSI at 39. For now, whales are leaning cautious, reflecting broader weakness in enterprise software.

$PFE Pfizer drew attention with 19 whale trades, largely bullish in tone. The stock gained +1.32% to $25.73 and continues to climb off recent lows, supported by RSI at 64. With multiple options bets aligned on upside, institutions may be signaling confidence in a rebound.

$SBUX Starbucks logged 12 unusual trades, showing mixed sentiment: $242K in puts versus $591K in calls. Shares slipped to $88.56, but with RSI at 41 and sideways trading action, traders may be eyeing a stabilization before recovery.

$SN SharkNinja saw 20 trades, leaning bearish (60% vs. 40% bullish). Despite $979K in calls versus $182K in puts, sentiment suggests hedging after a recent run. Shares dropped -3.18% to $115.62 but remain in an uptrend, making this one of the more intriguing mixed signals of the day.

$SNOW Snowflake lit up options screens with 38 trades split between bulls and bears. With $2.28M in call value versus $1.04M in puts, the tilt is modestly bullish. Shares are down slightly at $194.68 and in a downtrend, but whales may be betting on a turnaround.

$TEAM Atlassian recorded 9 whale trades, skewed bearish. Puts totaled $401K against $298K in calls. Shares closed at $164.59, still well below their 200-day moving average, and RSI sits at 33. Caution remains the dominant tone here.

$VKTX Viking Therapeutics saw 12 trades, mostly bullish, with 10 calls worth $1.13M versus just 2 puts. The stock is holding at $25.66 with RSI at 35, signaling room for upside if biotech sentiment improves. This is one to keep on the radar for momentum swings.

$WULF TeraWulf stood out with heavy bullish activity. Unusual options flow suggests investors expect volatility ahead. At $9.19, shares are up over 300% from 52-week lows and RSI sits at a lofty 75. With strong momentum and institutional eyes on it, WULF remains one of the hottest speculative names in play.
