$ABBV AbbVie is flashing a notable options signal as unusually large trades surfaced, suggesting heightened interest from deep-pocketed market participants. A cluster of 16 uncommon options trades shows a strong skew toward calls in dollar terms, despite sentiment being split between bullish and bearish camps. The size and structure of these positions point to expectations for meaningful movement within a wide price band over the coming months.

$BKNG Booking Holdings is seeing elevated whale activity in the options market, with 24 sizable trades detected. While calls dominate in total premium, bearish positioning is clearly present, reflecting uncertainty around near-term direction. The unusually broad strike range targeted implies that sophisticated investors are positioning for significant price swings rather than a quiet consolidation.

$COST Costco options tape stands out with an exceptionally high number of unusual trades, well above normal activity levels. Most premium is flowing into call contracts, signaling optimism, yet a meaningful put presence suggests hedging. Whales focusing on higher strike levels over a multi-month window point to expectations for sustained volatility.

$CRM Salesforce is attracting aggressive positioning from large investors, highlighted by more than 60 uncommon options trades. Puts slightly outweigh calls in both count and premium, indicating defensive or cautious strategies despite continued bullish interest. The wide range of strikes suggests smart money is preparing for outsized moves.

$META Meta Platforms is one of the most active names on the options board, with heavy call buying dominating the flow. Although bearish trades are present, the overwhelming premium skew toward calls reflects strong bullish conviction from institutional players and expectations for elevated volatility.

$NCLH Norwegian Cruise Line shows a distinctly bearish tilt in recent options activity. Most detected trades lean negative, suggesting large investors are positioning defensively or speculating on downside risk. The tighter price range targeted implies a focused near-term view.

$ON Semiconductor options flow sends a cautionary signal, with sentiment overwhelmingly skewed bearish despite the presence of call trades. This imbalance suggests calls may be part of complex strategies rather than outright bullish bets, with traders anticipating a decisive move.

$RIO Rio Tinto is experiencing heightened options interest characterized by a bearish bias among large traders. Puts slightly outweigh calls, reflecting concerns tied to commodity cycles or macro pressures and signaling a more defensive institutional stance.

$RKT Rocket Companies is drawing attention as unusual options trades reveal a cautious outlook. While calls outnumber puts, bearish sentiment edges ahead overall, suggesting hedging or skepticism around upside continuation.

$SNOW Snowflake rounds out the list with a clear bearish bias in recent options activity. Despite more call contracts by count, the overall sentiment suggests downside protection or tactical bearish exposure, pointing to expectations for continued volatility.
