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.
Options are leaning call-side while the stock is down on the week, a divergence that needs price confirmation.
Put-heavy activity matters because it connects the options headline to the actual evidence: $339558 of estimated gross traded notional, puts · 91+ days · itm, and a bullish flow against weak price backdrop. Use it as a research priority signal, then validate the chart, liquidity, event calendar, and risk before acting.
