Options data shows sharply divided sentiment across US markets this week. Bullish bets dominate semiconductors. Bearish flows are clustering in names with big year-to-date losses.
NVDA and MU sit at the top of the positive options flow rankings. NVDA is up 20.8% year-to-date and carries a $5.4 trillion market cap. MU has surged 232% this year. Both are drawing the heaviest bullish options volume among large caps. AMD also features prominently on the bullish list, up 125% in 2026.
The bearish side tells a different story. TSLA is down 24% year-to-date. Put flow into the stock remains elevated. META is off 10% for the year. It ranks high for negative options bets despite its $1.5 trillion market cap.
Strategy Inc draws attention on both sides. Short score sits at 50. Analyst upside is a striking 136%. Put and call volumes are both elevated.
Away from mega-caps, Roku has the highest ORTEX options score among mid-caps. RSI is 73.7. The stock is up 42% year-to-date. Call sentiment is running hot heading into its Q2 results.
Lucid Group is notable on the bearish side. Short score is 83. The stock is down 39% in 2026. Options flow here leans heavily negative.
FT Markets flagged a 30-year US Treasury auction at the highest yields since 2001. Bond volatility of that scale tends to spill into equity options premiums. Traders should expect elevated implied volatility across rate-sensitive sectors in the near term.
