$AA Alcoa options tape is skewing decisively toward calls, with roughly $1.66 million in call premium dwarfing minimal put activity despite the stock easing to $61.76. That divergence between soft price action and aggressive upside positioning suggests forward-looking conviction. The wide $17–$75 strike span indicates traders are pricing in meaningful volatility, not just a minor bounce, making this a name where sentiment may be building beneath the surface.

$AG First Majestic Silver printed 44 unusual options trades, with call premium north of $3.3 million compared to $318K in puts. Shares held near $23.79 on below-average volume, but derivatives traders appear to be positioning ahead of a potential metals catalyst. The $5–$41 strike range reflects expectations for broad price swings, a common setup when commodity-linked equities start attracting speculative capital.

$PFE Pfizer climbed over 2% to $27.61 as options activity leaned bullish, though positioning remains relatively balanced. Calls at roughly $773K outpaced puts at $158K, while the $22–$30 target range signals structured range strategies rather than breakout speculation. This pattern often points to income-focused or volatility-based positioning in a defensive large-cap name.

$SMCI Super Micro Computer shows a clear bearish tilt in its unusual options flow, with 53% of positioning leaning negative across 15 notable trades. While shares hovered around $33.33, the $24–$50 strike spread implies traders are bracing for sharp movement. In high-beta tech, bearish flow frequently reflects hedging activity, but sustained downside skew is still a caution flag for momentum participants.

$U Unity Software rallied 5.56% to $29.06, supported by 60% bullish options positioning and over $1.27 million in call premium. With equity volume running above average, the alignment between stock momentum and derivatives activity suggests active directional conviction. When both markets confirm upside flow, follow-through often becomes the next variable traders watch closely.

$VZ Verizon drew 50 unusual options trades, highlighted by $4.48 million in call premium versus $532K in puts. Shares edged higher to $47.39, and the bullish skew stands out in a typically defensive telecom play. Elevated call activity in lower-volatility names can indicate sector rotation or yield-focused positioning rather than short-term speculation.
