Shares of United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:UAL) are up 3.1% at $69.03, after the company's better-than-expected first-quarter earnings results. The airliner added that forward bookings have been stable, and issued two full-year outlooks, calling the economy "impossible to predict."

UAL is on track for its fourth-straight win, though it has fallen quite a ways from its Jan. 22 record high of $116 amid tariff pressures. The 20-day moving average, which the stock is contending with today, has been guiding it lower since February. Year to date, the equity is down roughly 30%. 

Over in the options pits, 28,000 calls and 24,000 puts have been exchanged -- quadruple the overall volume typically seen at this point. Expiring tomorrow, the April 70 call is the most popular contract, followed by the 68 call in that series, with new positions being opened at the latter. 

Options look like a good way to go when weighing in on UAL's next move. The stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) of 95 out of 100 means it has consistently outperformed options traders' volatility expectations over the past year.
