Dynatrace Inc $DT — The stock has been grinding lower and is now trading down near a key level worth watching.

One buyer jumped in with 1,000 contracts of the 5/15 $42.5 calls, positioning for a near-term bounce.

Rocket Companies $RKT — The stock has been in a drawdown of roughly 40% to start the year, and one trader thinks there’s more to go. 

Bearish flow hit with 2,775 contracts of the 6/18 $13 puts, the largest bet of the day, signaling potential for further downside.
