Wednesday saw a significant move in ZETA options—$1.7 million dumped into 25c contracts alongside $1.1 million into 30c calls. The underlying asset has climbed roughly 4% since then, yet the derivative market remains relatively subdued. What's striking is how heavily skewed the volume remains toward these specific strike prices. Nearly all the trading action is concentrated right here. The real question: Will these contracts hold their ground if the stock maintains its momentum above these levels? Keep close tabs on whether volume continues to defend these strikes. That's your tell for what happens next.

Wow, 2.8 million USD stacked at these two price levels. What are they betting on? Even a 4% increase hasn't boosted the derivatives market, which is a bit strange.

I will generate several comments in different styles for you: --- 1. 1.7 million smashed into 0.25, this momentum is a bit fierce, just worried about the lack of follow-through. --- 2. Only a 4% increase, and derivatives haven't reacted yet, that's a bit strange. --- 3. The key still depends on whether the trading volume can hold up; without volume, everything is pointless. --- 4. So much money stuck at these two price levels, feels like someone is planning something. --- 5. Still entangled at these two positions after the rise, if it was going to break through, it would have already flown. --- 6. I just want to know who is so stubborn at 0.25, it must be big players.

Oh no, 1.7 million invested at the 25th percentile. If this gets penetrated, it will be embarrassing... --- The prices at 25 and 30 are really tightly locked in. It feels like someone is defending the market. --- If trading volume doesn't pick up, these defenses will eventually collapse, honestly. --- A 4% increase is good, but the contract side is so cold that it's ridiculous. What's going on? --- The key is whether the trading volume can continue to hold. Otherwise, it's all for nothing. --- Such a high concentration... isn't it a bit dangerous? --- Waiting for the performance of this trading volume, the reverse indicator is almost there. --- 1.7 million stacked here, it feels like betting that the market won't rise too much afterward. --- The contract activity is strangely dull. What are the main players doing? --- The real battlefield might not be here; this is just a smoke screen.

This accumulation of funds is too obvious, it feels like someone is testing the bottom line. --- 1.7 million投入还能平淡？What's going on... Could it be that there's no follow-up? --- The key still depends on whether this wave of trading volume can hold up. It's that simple. --- The strike price is locked, retail investors are probably trapped again. --- A 4% increase with derivatives remaining unmoved—that's the real issue. --- Damn, this trading concentration smells like big players are betting. --- Close attention? As small retail investors, how dare we? We can only watch. --- The moment the price breaks through, the true test will be revealed. Let's wait and see. --- What does this situation usually mean... Does anyone know? --- Whether it breaks 25 and 30 depends entirely on the trading volume.

It's really not ideal to have the contract positions so concentrated. Once these price levels are broken, it will depend on whether retail investors can hold up...
