Perfect! Now I have good data showing a clear bearish tilt in options sentiment. Let me write the article:
Options traders flipped bearish this week. Zero positive sentiment registered on 14 major names above $35B market cap. WELL Welltower led the exodus at $144B. SYK Stryker followed at $130B showing zero bullish bets.
Healthcare REITs absorbed the heaviest selling. Welltower traders positioned entirely for downside despite 3.9 DTC suggesting light short pressure. Stryker grabbed 26% analyst upside yet options flows contradicted the optimism.
Insurance giants split sharply. MMC Marsh McLennan appeared twice in data showing full bearish positioning. Yet CB Chubb claimed 100% positive sentiment at $126B market cap demonstrating sector bifurcation.
Energy names grabbed rare bullish conviction. EQNR Equinor posted 100% positive bets despite 87 RSI signaling overbought territory. The Norwegian oil major surged 76% year to date on Iran war supply disruption.
Industrials faced uniform selling. NSC Norfolk Southern zero positive flows matched PCAR PACCAR weakness. Both held sub-30 RSI yet traders hedged aggressively.
The options market diverged sharply from equities. Defensive positioning accelerated amid geopolitical chaos.
