$ANET Arista Networks is flashing a clear signal on the options tape as unusual activity picked up with 12 notable trades. What stands out is the imbalance toward calls, both in count and dollar value, suggesting that sophisticated players are positioning for potential upside even as the stock moves sideways near $131. The focus on a wide $75–$150 price range hints at expectations for a meaningful move rather than short-term noise, often a setup for volatility expansion.

$DLTR Dollar Tree options activity reflects growing attention from deep-pocketed investors as the stock continues its uptrend. Despite heavier put dollar value, sentiment remains tilted bullish, pointing more toward hedging than outright downside bets. With price action holding near the upper end of the $100–$125 range, institutions appear cautiously constructive.

$HOOD Robinhood Markets is one of the most active names on the options radar, with 33 unusual trades detected. Sentiment skews bearish, yet call and put dollar values are relatively balanced, suggesting complex positioning rather than a one-sided bet. In a downtrend, this often signals expectations for sharp moves rather than calm trading.

$INSM Insmed shows a strongly bearish sentiment profile even as most capital flows into calls. This contradiction suggests speculative upside paired with protection against downside. The extremely wide price band signals that traders are bracing for a major move rather than incremental price action.

$INTC Intel continues to attract heavy options interest, with 36 unusual trades and call value dominating puts. Even with the broader trend pointing lower, this activity hints that some players are positioning early for a rebound or sentiment shift in the semiconductor space.

$LEU Centrus Energy stands out for its aggressive options positioning across a very wide price range. Bearish sentiment dominates, but call value remains significant, pointing to volatility-driven strategies. In a downtrending stock, this often reflects traders preparing for sharp, news-driven swings.

$MSFT Microsoft options flow suggests quiet caution beneath the surface. Bearish sentiment slightly outweighs bullish while liquidity remains strong, indicating institutional hedging near elevated price levels. This type of activity often accompanies consolidation rather than immediate breakdowns.

$NEM Newmont unusual options activity appears during an ongoing uptrend, with bearish sentiment but overwhelming call value. This mix suggests cautious optimism, likely tied to macro drivers such as gold prices, rather than aggressive downside positioning.

$PANW Palo Alto Networks shows persistent unusual options signals with bearish sentiment edging out bullish, even as call value stays dominant. Traders appear focused on risk management after recent moves, a setup that can precede either continuation or sharp reversal.

$UBER Uber Technologies displays one of the clearest bearish options profiles in this group, with put value far outweighing calls. Despite relatively stable price action, the options market is pricing in downside risk, often an early warning sign to stay alert.

$WPM Wheaton Precious Metals rounds out the list with a more balanced options picture. While sentiment leans bearish, strong call activity and an ongoing uptrend suggest traders are positioning for further upside while remaining disciplined on risk.
