Options sentiment has swung decisively bullish this week. ORTEX data shows call bets dominating flow across multiple sectors — from semiconductors to cruise lines.
MACOM Technology Solutions posted the strongest bullish options signal of the week. Nearly 99% of options flow was positive in the past seven days. The stock is up 110% year-to-date. RSI sits at 81.5 — deep in overbought territory. Traders are betting momentum holds ahead of its Q2 earnings call.
NXP Semiconductors also drew heavy call interest. 93.5% of options flow was bullish. The stock gained 35.8% YTD. Options traders appear positioned for a sustained semiconductor rally.
Royal Caribbean stands out differently. Short interest covers 7.8 days — the longest DTC of any major leisure name. A hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship made news over the weekend. Carnival Corporation and Norwegian Cruise Line also appeared in high-impact news flow. Traders holding positions through May 15 expiries face a binary catalyst.
Cytokinetics saw 97.2% positive options flow. Short interest remains elevated at a 6.3 days-to-cover. Analysts see 34% upside. The combination of high short interest and heavy call buying sets up a classic squeeze scenario.
QXO carries the highest short score on the list — 79.5. Days to cover hit 22. Options positive flow reached 97.4% this week. Analyst upside stands at 74%. That is a rare mix of bearish positioning and bullish options bets.
