Excellent! Now I have enough data. Let me create the article focusing on unusual options activity and sentiment shifts:

Defensive Bets Flood REITs

WELL Welltower grabbed 100% bearish options flow this week. The $140B healthcare REIT showed zero bullish bets across seven days despite 13.9% analyst upside. Traders positioned entirely through puts as defensive rotations accelerated.

PLD Prologis mirrored the bearish stance. The $123B industrial REIT absorbed zero positive options sentiment showing coordinated put buying. Both REITs face 4.3 and 1.6 day short coverage suggesting limited squeeze risk.

TJX TJX Companies flipped to 100% bullish. The $179B off-price retailer drew unanimous call buying reversing prior bearish positioning. BUD Anheuser-Busch claimed 100% positive flow as defensive consumer names grabbed conviction.

Crypto exposed names dominated total bet volume. CRVN Carvana led mid-cap activity despite falling 25% year to date. The used car platform held 61 short score yet attracted massive options interest. COIN Coinbase ranked fourth with 37% upside to targets.

AAOI Applied Optoelectronics surged 208% in 2026 drawing heavy speculation. The $8.3B telecom equipment maker showed 62 short score as bears battled momentum traders through options chains.

MDGL Madrigal Pharmaceuticals appeared twice in screening showing persistent biotech volatility. The stock held 31% analyst upside attracting balanced two-way flow.
