$ACN Accenture continued to light up the options scanners with a surge of bearish leaning whale activity that traders should not ignore. With 11 unusual contracts detected today, including 7 puts totaling over 391K and 4 calls worth about 219K, the flow signals heavy hands preparing for potential downside. Around 72 percent of large traders leaned bearish while whales targeted a price zone between 220 and 310 over the past three months.

$DVN Devon Energy saw a spike in unusual options flow with 11 significant trades, well above normal levels. Sentiment appeared split with 36 percent bullish and 36 percent bearish. The structure leaned to the upside though, with only one put worth about 28K against ten calls totaling nearly 400K. Whales targeted a 25 to 40 price corridor, and the concentration in call premium suggests traders are positioning ahead of a possible catalyst.

$MU Micron Technology delivered one of the most notable activity bursts with 50 unusual trades logged. Although bearish sentiment slightly outweighed bullish interest, the notional flow was large on both sides: 22 puts totaling 2.14M and 28 calls totaling 2.53M. Targeted strikes ranged from 155 to 310, signaling expectations for aggressive movement. Elevated open interest across these levels indicates that institutional traders are preparing for expanding volatility.

$NVDA Nvidia remained a focal point as its stronger than expected Q3 results triggered ripple effects across the crypto market. Major cryptocurrencies moved lower even as equities strengthened, with heavy liquidations in BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL and DOGE adding pressure. Analysts noted BTC whales may be shifting from selling toward accumulation as open interest rises and shorts become vulnerable near the 95000 level. Nvidia influence once again highlighted the growing connection between mega cap tech sentiment and digital asset volatility.

$STX Seagate Technology attracted attention with 10 unusual options transactions, far outside its normal pattern. Sentiment leaned bearish at 40 percent with 20 percent bullish. The dollar flow was dominated by upside exposure though, with 174K in puts and a much larger 634K in calls. Whales focused on a wide range between 57.5 and 290, suggesting expectations for significant movement rather than a tight directional view. Volume and open interest patterns confirmed strong institutional positioning.

$V Visa saw 37 unusual options trades today as large traders became increasingly active. Sentiment skewed 48 percent bullish versus 37 percent bearish. Options flow totaled 1.08M in puts and 874K in calls with whales targeting strikes from 150 to 400. The broad strike selection and heavy premium reflect positioning for a meaningful reaction to upcoming macro or earnings event and Visa often becomes a high conviction name when whales build exposure in size.

$VZ Verizon recorded 12 unusual options trades that pointed to renewed institutional interest. The sentiment balance was 50 percent bullish and 25 percent bearish. Notional flow included 137K in puts against a much larger 503K in calls. Targeted prices between 32 and 50 show traders preparing for a potential shift in the price typically defensive profile. Rising open interest reinforces the idea that whales are accumulating ahead of a possible valuation reset or earnings driven move.
