With a lack of volume in stocks infecting the options market, options pros were seeing little bullish action Tuesday, despite the surge in stock prices.

One options specialist on the American Stock Exchange said there was little flow in the market. The rally lacked "a lot of enthusiasm," the specialist said, noting that there wasn't any significant put selling or call buying despite the rally in stocks. What he was seeing was mostly traders adjusting positions. Selling a put or buying a call is generally a bet that a stock or index will rise.

The specialist, along with other market participants, complained that volume was light overall Tuesday, the first day back after the long holiday weekend.
