Significant and highly concentrated options activity was observed in Citigroup (C) and Intuit (INTU), indicating targeted directional bets from market participants. Citigroup's options volume reached 79,720 contracts, representing a substantial 46.5% of its average daily share volume. This activity was heavily skewed towards the September 2025 $100 strike call, which alone accounted for 26,248 contracts. Such a large, focused trade in a long-dated call option suggests a strong bullish conviction regarding the bank's long-term appreciation potential. In contrast, Intuit experienced options volume of 5,894 contracts, equivalent to 40.5% of its average daily share turnover. The activity highlighted a specific interest in the August 2025 $762.50 strike put. This concentration, even with a smaller contract number, points to a bearish or hedging strategy, with certain investors positioning for a potential price decline below that strike price over the next year.
