New York Community Bancorp (NYSE: NYCB), the holding company for New York Community Bank, has attracted significant attention due to unusually high trading volume in its stock options.

Additionally, tracking the evolution of options activity and understanding its underlying sentiment can provide valuable insights into investor expectations and potential catalysts for future price movements.
