CSCO
47 strike calls expiring Feb 19th 2021 were traded at 0.89 in a single print above open interest of 1,141.
Since we don't have visibility to what the bid or ask price was when these calls were traded, we have to look at this from different perspectives.
1.) Call Buying - This could be interpreted as call buying since one could argue that CSCO is trying to fill the gap from back on 8/13/2020. Note that the horizontal line representing the 47 strike calls is near the lows on 8/12/2020 just before it gapped down the next day.
2.) Covered Calls - These calls could also be covered calls. CSCO has had a good run from November through present day. Perhaps these are sold calls to hedge against a correction in the stock price.
Let's follow the stock and this option's pricing see what happens.

Comment:
It's been over two weeks and so far, we are still neutral. I am wondering if the calls that traded hands were covered calls. We still have time yet, but time works in the favor of those who sell options rather than buy them.
