20 Stocks in a New Uptrend With Bullish Options Sentiment

The following is a list of stocks in a new uptrend, as defined by the Average Directional Index, or ADX(14) index. All of these stocks have bullish options sentiment…

To create the list, we started with a universe of stocks in an uptrend that have an ADX(14) value above +20, which signals strengthening upward momentum. We then reduced the size of this universe by only focusing on stocks that have very low Put/Call ratios, based on open interest in the options market.
