Semiconductors are driving the most active options flow this week. Both bullish and bearish bets are concentrating in the same names — a sign the sector is at a decision point.
Sandisk tops the options activity table on both sides of the ledger. The storage chip spinoff has surged 591% year-to-date. That extreme run is drawing heavy two-way options flow. Traders are split on whether the move has legs.
Micron Technology sits alongside Sandisk at the top of both the bullish and bearish bets rankings. Micron is up 240% in 2026. Its ORTEX stock score sits at 97 out of 100. Analysts see 55% further upside from current levels. The put-side activity suggests not everyone is convinced.
NVIDIA also draws large bets on both sides. Its $5.5 trillion market cap makes it the biggest options market in the world right now. AMD follows with similarly split flow. Both are up sharply this year.
On the bullish-only side, options sentiment scores hit 100% positive for a clutch of large-cap names. Trane Technologies, , and all show pure call-side dominance over the past seven days. That signals institutional accumulation, not speculation.
Nebius Group stands out as a wild card. Up 232% year-to-date, it carries a short score of 70 and a days-to-cover of 3.4. Both bullish and bearish bets are elevated. A high-short, high-options-activity combination like this often precedes volatile moves.
The broader pattern: bulls are chasing the chip rally hard. Bears are starting to hedge. Watch Micron and Sandisk for the sector's next move.
