How to read options data as an input for share trading?

I trade shares. I've got access to options data too though so I'd like to utilise that as an indicator of future prices of the underlying.

All the options stuff on the internet is geared towards actual trading thereof which isn't what I want to do.

I've got a vague understanding of the components (implied vol, premiums etc)...but can't quite connect the dots to "option market is betting this is going up/down".

Can someone please either provide direct guidance or point me towards a relevant reading resource?

Thanks
