Merck's Stock Signals Bearish Warning Signs Summary Bearish options betting has taken place in the stock in recent days. The technical chart suggests the shares may reverse. The valuation for the stock is reaching premium levels. Merck's ( MRK Betting on a Drop The options for expiration on April 18 saw a significant increase in their open interest levels on March 11. The puts at the $80 strike price rose by about 10,000 contracts, pushing the total open interest up to about 14,300 open contracts. For a buyer of those puts to earn a profit the stock would need to fall to roughly $78.50 or lower by the expiration date. That's a modest decline of only 3% over the next few weeks. However, it's worth noting that the number of open calls does outweigh the puts at the $80 strike price by a ratio of almost 2 to 1. However, call activity has relatively leveled off in recent weeks. Which suggests that investors are less willing to bet the stock will continue to rise. (Merck Apr 80 Puts - Trade
