Options Intent Radar
Put-heavy activity
Put-side activity dominates. This can reflect hedging or directional positioning, but the chain alone cannot distinguish buying from selling.
Call-side pressure is building before a meaningful weekly price response.
Put-heavy activity matters because it connects the options headline to the actual evidence: $5802 of estimated gross traded notional, puts · 91+ days · unpriced, and a bullish flow before price confirmation backdrop. Use it as a research priority signal, then validate the chart, liquidity, event calendar, and risk before acting.
