True, even though the bulls continue to buy a lot of OTM calls, the put buyers are the ones paying the premiums. It probably locks us firmly in a wide trading range and when those OTM calls loose enough premium near the opex, the put buyers will be probably run over again. I am thinking the market accommodates the bearish tendencies until it doesn't... :lol:
