Bearish Option Flow
Carvana (CVNA) has seen a surge in unusual put option activity over the last 24 hours. Large block trades in out-of-the-money puts indicate that institutional investors are either hedging existing long positions or initiating new bearish bets. This activity often precedes or accompanies an increase in short selling, as market makers hedge their own exposure by selling the underlying stock.
Market Sentiment
While option activity is distinct from direct short selling, the correlation between heavy put buying and subsequent downward pressure on the stock price is well-documented. We are tracking this alongside daily short volume to see if the bearish sentiment is translating into direct short selling pressure on the exchange.
