$ANET Arista Networks saw a sharp spike in unusual options activity around the $127 level, reflecting a tug of war between bullish positioning and cautious hedging. Across multiple sweeps, call premium outweighed puts by more than $2.4M versus roughly $1.0M, yet bearish flows were also visible with target ranges clustering between $100 and $160. With the stock trading near the middle of a wide $65–$190 implied range and volume at 4.63M versus a 6.65M average, the options market suggests for volatility rather than a one-directional move, likely tied to expectations around enterprise networking demand and AI-driven infrastructure spending.

$CRVS Corvus Pharmaceuticals stood out as a classic speculative options play, with shares up 3.46% to $22.15 while options volume surged well above average at 14.03M versus 4.47M. Despite the strength, the options flow leaned bearish, with put interest dominating sentiment and target ranges extending down to $8. This divergence often signals profit protection or downside hedges following a rally, indicating that smart money may be skeptical about the durability of recent gains.

$HD Home Depot attracted heavy institutional attention as the stock climbed 2.54% to $384.64. Calls significantly outweighed puts in dollar terms, with more than $2.7M in call value in several sweeps, pointing to confidence in the retail giant near-term resilience. At the same time, some bearish trades appeared, highlighting sensitivity to interest rates and housing data. With price targets spanning $300–$450, options traders appear to be bracing for macro-driven swings while still respecting HD cash flow stability.

$LYFT options tape showed mixed but telling signals around the $18.49 price level. While certain flows leaned bullish with call values topping $1.2M, repeated bearish sweeps showed put-heavy positioning and target ranges between $15 and $25. Volume at 9.47M versus an 11.27M average suggests participation is elevated but not euphoric, implying traders are actively debating whether recent operational improvements can offset competitive and margin pressures.

$NET Cloudflare experienced a notable bearish skew in options as shares slid 4.14% to $169.97. Multiple sweeps showed puts outweighing calls, with some traders targeting a wide $140–$240 range. What stands out is the volume of 4.05M nearly double its 2.19M average, reinforcing that downside protection is being actively priced in after a pullback, even as long-term growth narratives in cloud security remain intact.

$NFLX Netflix with over 120 unusual trades and massive premium flowing through both calls and puts. Despite the stock dipping 1.94% to $85.36, bullish positioning dominated in several blocks, including more than $11.6M in put value offset by substantial call buying above $3.7M. With volume at 114.83M versus a 48.25M average, traders appear to be bracing for large post-news moves, signaling uncertainty around growth expectations but no lack of conviction.

$NVDA rose 2.87% to $183.18, while call premium surged past $20M in bullish sweeps targeting $150–$255. At the same time, sizable bearish positions remain, reflecting profit-taking and hedging after an extended run. With both call and put flows elevated and volume north of 170M, the options market is signaling continued volatility rather than exhaustion.

$PRGS Progress Software jumped 10.62% to $42.70, immediately triggering options interest with cumulative transaction value near $766K. While the flow was flagged as bearish, the implied range of $42–$50 suggests traders are hedging after a sharp upside move rather than betting on a collapse. Volume of 2.90M versus a 551K average highlights how quickly attention shifted to the name.

$TSLA Tesla dominated the unusual options alerts with repeated large sweeps on both sides as the stock advanced 2.91% to $431.44. Call values frequently exceeded $30M in bullish blocks, targeting extreme ranges up to $960, while equally large bearish hedges appeared with puts surpassing $28M in some trades. With volume at 60.43M against a 70.73M average, the message from options traders is clear: expectations for outsized moves remain very much alive.

$VRT Vertiv Holdings saw elevated speculative activity as shares rose 3.60% to $181.47. Bullish call buying reached over $5.4M in certain sweeps, yet bearish positions persisted with put-heavy trades targeting ranges as low as $45. This split positioning suggests traders are weighing strong AI data-center tailwinds against valuation concerns, with volume slightly below average but premium flow signaling conviction.

$WIX rounded out the list with a clear bearish tilt despite a 4.59% rally to $79.74. Options data showed puts dominating sentiment, with target ranges spanning $47 to $120. Volume at 1.93M versus a 1.27M average indicates rising participation, and the options market appears to be questioning how sustainable the recent upside is amid broader tech volatility.
