Want to see how the Sunday evening market will react to the bankruptcies (Hertz and Argentina) as well as the heat & noise from China and WH.

Over the past 3 days, options traders have bought (or sold) twice as many equity calls as puts. The S&P 500 is still below its 200-day average. This kind of (potential) optimism during a downtrend hasn't happened since November 2002.
 
As the NASDAQ pushes higher towards all-time highs, sentiment towards tech stocks is EXTREMELY optimistic. The QQQ Optimism Index's 2 month average is at the *highest* level since 2012. Doesn't bode well for tech stocks here

 

FWIW, this doesn't seem to be consistent with ISEE equity options data.
