What does this page lead to?
- News (Feed): Option volume spikes tend to cluster on days with company headlines or 8-K filings; News lists those items tagged to the same ticker, newest first. (either way, depending on the cause; same day; company scale) Source: SEC EDGAR latest 8-K filings.
- Company Reports (Calendar): Many spikes sit in contracts expiring just after a company's results date, where traders position for the report; Company Reports shows those dates. (either way, depending on the cause; days before each report; company scale) Source: SEC EDGAR filings (10-Q/10-K text).
- Stock by Stock (Markets): Dealers who take the other side of a spike hedge in the shares, so a large option spike often comes with extra share volume in the stock; the two are counted apart, contracts and shares. (either way, depending on the cause; same day; company scale) Source: Robinhood options market data (OPRA).
- Fear Gauge (VIX) (Briefing): When spikes spread across many companies at once they tend to fall on market-wide days, the same days index option prices and the VIX move most. (moves the same way; same day; economy scale) Source: Cboe VIX index data (daily history and delayed quotes).
What feeds this page?
- Company Reports (Calendar): Earnings dates tend to bring the heaviest option volume of a company's quarter, so its strikes tend to appear among the day's spikes around the report. (moves the same way; the days around the report; company scale) Source: Robinhood options market data (OPRA).
- Reddit (Feed): Many posts on r/wallstreetbets and r/options are about short-dated calls, so a surge in a name's mentions tends to come with option volume spikes in it. (moves the same way; same day; company scale) Source: Robinhood options market data (OPRA).
