TRUE SENTIMENT ANALYSIS (DELTA 40-60 OPTIONS)
True Sentiment Analysis (Delta 40-60 Options)From the True Sentiment options data (2026-10-26):
Call Dollar Volume: $4,848,650.00 (37.70%) Put Dollar Volume: $8,016,060.00 (62.30%) Total: $12,864,710.00
Sentiment is Bearish based on pure directional conviction (delta 40-60 filter). Put contracts (1,375) exceeded calls (1,010) and put dollar volume was 1.65x call volume. This suggests institutional positioning expects further downside or hedging into weakness. Divergence: Technicals show oversold RSI (14.29) which could imply a bounce, but options flow confirms bearish conviction with no alignment to a reversal.
