Options flow shows where real money is positioning before a move. A bullish lean (heavy call volume, high call/put ratio, sweeps bought at the ask) means traders are paying up for upside; a bearish lean is the reverse. The largest, most-aggressive prints — sweeps filled across exchanges at the ask — carry the most signal. On the AlgoX conviction desk, CAT is scored live against net premium, relative volume, momentum and the biggest sweep of the day.
