watchlist
, the option tape is defensive-to-bearish in the near term , rather than a clean bullish signal.
The current chain-level call/put ratio returned is 0.63 , not 0.96: put activity is materially heavier than call activity. If you are seeing 0.96 elsewhere, it likely reflects a different timestamp, expiry set, or calculation method. A 0.96 ratio alone would be broadly balanced with a slight put tilt—not decisively bearish.

3,000 Apr-2027 $280 puts bought for about US$1.53m .
1,200 Mar-2027 $320 puts bought for about US$1.06m . These may be outright downside views, but their long tenor and strikes below spot also make institutional hedging a plausible interpretation—not necessarily a prediction of an immediate selloff.
