What Is Unusual Options Activity?
Unusual options activity (UOA) occurs when the volume of options contracts traded significantly exceeds the existing open interest — often 2x, 5x, or even 10x higher. This signals that new, aggressive directional bets are being placed, frequently by institutional traders or hedge funds. Tracking this flow gives retail traders visibility into where smart money may be positioning before a move.
