Bears continued to build up positions against the semiconductor group on Friday, as a series of eyebrow-raising trades in Micron and Nvidia dominated the tape and called into question the move in chips. More than 180,000 puts traded in SMH by midday, compared to 50,000 calls, with $46 million of premium tied to puts versus $26 million in calls, according to ThinkOrSwim and SpotGamma data. By volume, 129,000 put contracts look like they were bought, according to SpotGamma. The ratio of open interest in put contracts to calls climbed to 1.95, the highest since the second week of August, Barchart data show. The same ratio for the Invesco QQQ Trust continued its recent climb as well, to 1.51. A few big single-stock trades stood out on the tape as well.
