There was a seller of 10,000 of the May 45 puts at an average price of $1.05 per contract, Stutland mentioned.

The trader expects that the bottom is somewhat near for Twilio and other tech stocks, which got hit hard on Wednesday.

KORE Group Holdings, Inc. KORE recently agreed to acquire Twilio's IoT business unit. In February, Twilio reported strong fourth-quarter results and announced a $1 billion buyback program.

Price Action: Twilio shares dropped 7.6% to close at $59.32 on Wednesday, and lost another 0.1% in the after-hours trading session. Shares of software companies, including Twilio traded lower, the weakness may be due to concerns over a U.S. economic slowdown, which could negatively impact risk sentiment.
