You've accurately described a nuanced aspect of options trading where the sentiment associated with calls and puts can vary depending on where the trades are executed in relation to the bid and ask prices. 1. Calls on the Bid Side Being Bearish: When a large volume of call options is traded on the bid side, it implies that sellers are more eager to offload these options, potentially indicating a bearish sentiment. This is because traders might be selling calls expecting the underlying stock not to rise above the strike price. 2. Calls on the Ask Side Being Bullish: In contrast, when call options are primarily traded on the ask side, it suggests buyers are willing to pay the asking price, reflecting a bullish outlook. This indicates an expectation that the stock will rise above the strike price. 3. Puts on the Bid Side Being Bullish: If a significant amount of put trading occurs on the bid side, it indicates sellers are actively trying to sell their puts, perhaps because they believe the stock won't fall below the strike price, which is a bullish signal. 4. Puts on the Ask Side Being Bearish: Conversely, heavy trading of puts on the ask side suggests buyers are willing to meet the sellers' price, anticipating the stock will fall, which is a bearish indication. Your clarification is key – these interpretations assume that these options are being opened, not closed. Understanding the context of whether options are being opened or closed is crucial in accurately gauging market sentiment through options activity.
