Options markets flashed strong bullish signals this week. NVDA topped the positive-bets leaderboard after its Q1 2027 earnings call. The chipmaker's $5.5 trillion market cap stock is up 19% YTD. Call buyers moved in fast following the results.
MU and SNDK led on negative options bets volume. Both stocks have surged over 100% and 480% YTD respectively. Traders appear to be hedging or fading those extreme runs near term.
Unusual bullish options flow surfaced in ZTS. The pharma stock is down 38% this year. Its RSI sits at just 23.6 — deeply oversold territory. Options buyers are betting on a reversal. Analysts see 58.6% upside to their average target price.
LQDA topped the ORTEX options score this week among mid-caps. Its RSI hit 81, the highest in the screen. Despite that elevated reading, call-side activity dominated. Its short score of 62 suggests heavy bearish positioning — a potential squeeze catalyst.
MXLR also drew attention. The semiconductor stock is up 401% YTD and carries an options score pointing to continued bullish flow. Traders show no signs of fading the run yet.
Broader market SPY options chains stretch out to late August, reflecting steady hedging demand amid Iran war tensions and record equity highs.
