U Unity Potential Buyout Soon?!If you missed my previous signal on U (Unity):
Now Unity Technologies (NYSE: U) just caught fire — surging 12.5% in a single day — on a massive uptick in volume that should have every sharp trader watching closely. With $39.1M in volume against a daily average of 9.4M shares, something is clearly brewing beneath the surface.
But this isn’t just about technicals — the options market is lighting up with unusual activity, and there’s fundamental buyout potential that’s getting harder to ignore.
🔍 Options Traders Are Making Bold Bets
Yesterday: Traders loaded up on January 16 $37 strike calls — deep out-of-the-money, high-risk, high-reward plays.
Today: A massive $3.5 million bet was placed on the $30 strike calls, also expiring January 16.
These aren’t casual bets. This is smart money positioning for a potential takeover or major catalyst, and the timeline is clear: January 2025.
📈 Why a Buyout Could Be Back on the Table
Let’s rewind. On August 9, 2022, AppLovin (APP) made an unsolicited offer to acquire Unity in an all-stock deal worth $17.5B, valuing Unity shares at $58.85 — an 18% premium at the time. Unity rejected the deal.
Fast forward to today:
AppLovin's market cap has exploded — now sitting at a jaw-dropping $127B, up 3,800% since late 2022.
Unity, meanwhile, is a shadow of its former self, trading far below its ATH of $201.12 (November 2021), with ongoing struggles in monetization and competition.
But this disparity creates a prime M&A setup:
AppLovin now has the firepower and strategic incentive to revisit the acquisition — with Unity’s depressed valuation, it’s arguably a bargain.
The AI + gaming narrative is red hot. Combining Unity’s engine with AppLovin’s ad and monetization capabilities could be the synergy Wall Street loves.
🎯 The Trade Setup
Unity just broke out with conviction on high volume — this could be the first leg of a larger move.
Options flow suggests bullish sentiment into early 2025.
A renewed takeover offer could easily push the stock back toward the $50–60 zone, if not higher.
🧠 Final Thoughts
Unity is no stranger to volatility, but when volume spikes, options explode, and a cash-rich suitor like AppLovin is thriving, traders should sit up and pay attention.
We may be watching the early stages of a buyout story 2.0 unfold — and Wall Street might be starting to price it in.
📌 Watch Unity (U) closely in the coming weeks. The market may be whispering — or shouting — "Takeover incoming."

$U $20 support, flagging in ascension Interesting setup here. Looks pretty good IMO. Software is a great name to look at in this market environment. It has a nice support at $20, even at large volume here it’s holding nicely so it shows relative strength. This name is definitely bullish long term. I’m in $21.5c for 2 weeks out, this is a high IV% name. Can run 10% in a day, 20% in a week, etc. We will see how it plays out.

Unity Software is the "worst of" with less than 20% margin above the coupon barrier. Unity Software specializes on gaming and VR software. Stock price and P/E have been low compared to competitors since 2022. The price reversed in July 2024 with a crescent min/max along the "classical" uphill trend line after breaching the two secondary POCs at 16 and 22 USD, indicating traders' interest in these prices. At 30 USD is the major POC. Price retreated from a weekly candle's attempt to break the major POC. This price level may act a strong resistence. Investing.com models value the stock at 28 USD.
Block offers commerce and payments-focused professional & Commercial Services.After reaching the minimum price of 40 USD circa in August 2024, which is near the certificate coupon barrier, it is advancing along an ascending trend line and has broken the primary POC of 65 USD, but the psychological threshold of 100 USD is holding it back. Now it trades around the primary POC touching the trend line, which is crucial for future movements.
At the moment of this post, the certificate is priced much below the parity at 79 Euro and expires on May 13th, with a potentially attractive profit of nearly 30% including a significant last coupon, assuming the certificate barrier is not breached.
The investment's worth should be carefully considered because the very high volatility and beta-correlation (above 2) of the underlying stocks increase the risk of hitting the barrier at any time before expiration. A margin of 20% above the barrier may not be certain for such underlying stocks.
U - Unity Software - I like itI have had great results with this company as I waited for the first major crash into low teens, I have been in and out many time and want to build a longer term position, and feel the $15 area is great support.
I will most likely only buy shares to hold, possibly a few leap options 2 yrs out
What is your take on this call or company, I am an average guy that enjoys this stuff...
U Unity Software Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought U before the previuos earnings:
Now analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of U Unity Software prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 21usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2025-2-21,
for a premium of approximately $1.73.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Unity Software $U to $30+ IF They Beat Earnings on January 30thIf, and this is a BIG if, Unity Software can impress with their earnings report on January 30th (which I'm personally betting on) then I think that NYSE:U can make it's way up to the line of "conservative" resistance on this ascending channel by mid-February ($30+). 💸🏆📈
Also, I recently posted a video on YouTube discussing NYSE:U and why I'm bullish on it in 2025 if you want to check it out. 🤙🏼🎬🎥
Holding for a breakoutIf you have never tried the unity software, it is very user friendly. There are a ton of resources for this software, making it an top choice for game development. With AI, more people are getting involved in creating because AI can help new developers write the code with simple prompts. AI is also changing the way games are made by allowing NPCs to now communicate with you as you speak into a microphone. Gaming is only going to get better from here. This stock has had a rough sell off but has managed to find a footing. I think this is a good buying opportunity for those who see long term value in this company that has been around since 2004 and only continues to improve upon their product.

U Unity Among My Top 10 Picks for 2025 | Price TargetIf you haven`t bought U Unity at all time low:
My price target for U in 2025 is $35, driven by the following fundamental factors:
Strong Market Position in Gaming and Interactive Content:
Unity maintains a dominant position in the gaming industry, with approximately 70% of the top mobile games built on its platform. The global gaming market is projected to grow significantly, driven by increasing consumer spending on mobile and interactive content. Unity's extensive reach—3.7 billion monthly downloads of applications made with Unity—positions it well to capture this growth. As the demand for high-quality gaming experiences continues to rise, Unity's technology will be integral in meeting these needs.
Innovative Product Developments:
The upcoming launch of Unity 6 promises to enhance the platform's stability and performance, which is crucial for attracting new developers and retaining existing customers. Additionally, Unity's shift back to a subscription-based model has shown positive results, with subscription revenue growing by 12%. This focus on innovation and customer satisfaction is expected to drive user engagement and revenue growth in the coming years.
Focus on Operational Efficiency and Cost Management:
Unity's recent restructuring efforts have significantly reduced net losses, from $291 million in Q1 2024 to $126 million in Q2 2024. This focus on operational efficiency not only improves profitability but also enhances cash flow management—Unity generated $115 million in free cash flow in Q3 2024. As the company continues to streamline operations while investing in growth initiatives, it is likely to see further improvements in financial performance.
Valuation Potential Amidst Market Recovery:
Despite recent challenges, Unity's current valuation presents an attractive opportunity for investors. Analysts are optimistic about the company's long-term growth prospects, particularly as it adapts to market demands and enhances its product offerings. With a target price suggesting significant upside potential from current levels, Unity is positioned for substantial appreciation as it executes its strategic vision.
Golden ZoneOn the Day TF, we see price action forming around the golden zone of the Fibonacci, we see a Heiken Ashi Doji there and also the bottom indicator is flashing and also it is near the bottom of the BB. If theory is correct there is a chance but not definite of a price reversal we need some bullish Heiken Ashi candles to confirm.

It is getting close to checking back on the neckline. 👀 Notice that the neckline and VWAP are exactly the same, suggesting it could provide strong support.
