Options sentiment is sharply divided this week. Bulls are piling into industrials and financials. Bears are loading up on insurance names.
NVDA and MU dominate negative-bet options volume across the market. MU has the densest near-term expiry chain in the sector, with daily expirations running through May 22. That density signals active trading around its upcoming earnings call. The stock is up 154% year-to-date, leaving options traders split on whether the rally has legs.
MACOM Technology Solutions topped ORTEX's options score screen this week. Its YTD gain stands at 119%. Call flow is heavily skewed positive. MaxLinear also ranks high, up a remarkable 430% YTD.
recorded a 0% positive options rate over the last seven days. That means all flagged large orders leaned bearish. The stock is already down 12% YTD. Sellers are not letting up.
Aon and American Tower also sit at 0% positive options flow. Both are down on the year.
TSLA carries fresh headline risk. Two Robotaxi crashes in Austin surfaced this week. Its options chain runs through August. Short interest remains elevated. Bearish bets are among the highest in the market by dollar volume.
GameStop sits with a 17.9 days-to-cover figure and a short score of 77. Its longest listed expiry is July 2026, limiting options leverage for squeeze plays.
