The individual stock options values aren't being returned in the response rows (they're null/truncated). Let me now get the options data directly using get_ortex_data for the key names with the best context from screening and news.
Options markets are flashing a clear message this week: semiconductors and energy are where the action is.
AMD tops the list for negative options bets over the past seven days. That's notable given the stock is up 56% year-to-date. Big call volumes in a rallying stock can signal over-extension. Options buyers are piling into near-term expiries — May 1 and May 8 — ahead of the company's Q1 earnings. RSI sits at 80, deep in overbought territory.
Intel tells a similar story. The stock has surged 124% in 2026. Its RSI is at 83. Options expiries cluster around May and June. Traders are not chasing the rally quietly. The put/call skew on such a vertical move warrants attention.
SanDisk is the most extreme case. Shares are up 317% year-to-date. Near-term expiries are active through June. A stock tripling in months draws speculative options flow on both sides.
Energy is the other hot corner. Brent crude crossed $110 per barrel this week. The Iran conflict is the driver. Goldman Sachs sees oil potentially hitting $120 if the conflict drags on. Halliburton is up 42% YTD with an RSI of 62. Devon Energy is up 32% with analysts seeing 21% further upside. Both have active May options chains. Call flow in energy names has spiked with each headline about the Iran situation.
GameStop remains a watch item. Its short score sits at 75. Near-term options expiries run weekly through June. Any sharp move in meme stocks draws speculative volume fast.
The broader market SPY has daily expiries through May and June. That depth signals hedging demand remains elevated as earnings season collides with geopolitical risk.
