Options market positioning refers to the collective distribution of open options contracts held by traders, indicating their directional biases and risk exposure. It reflects whether market participants are predominantly buying calls betting on price increases or puts betting on price decreases, and at which strike prices. This positioning offers insights into market sentiment and potential price levels where significant support or resistance might occur.
