Last week, options traders spent $2.1 billion on call premiums. They’ve become increasingly concerned about a further decline and spent more than $2.2 billion on protective put options. This is only the 2nd week since December that their put premiums were larger than call premiums.

The table on the next page shows how the S&P responded after other weeks when it was within 10% of a high and there was so much demand for puts that premiums exceeded those of calls. See the June 3, 2019 report for more.
