Options Intent Radar

Likely noise

30/100
Primary intent Likely noise

There is useful activity, but aggregate chain data does not isolate participant intent.

Flow vs price divergence No clean flow/price divergence

The options read is mixed, so divergence is not strong enough to classify.

Why this matters

Likely noise matters because it connects the options headline to the actual evidence: $790 of estimated gross traded notional, calls · 46-90 days · itm, and a no clean flow/price divergence backdrop. Use it as a research priority signal, then validate the chart, liquidity, event calendar, and risk before acting.
