CHICAGO (Reuters) - Demand for Google Inc. (GOOG.O: Quote, Profile, Research) options surged on Thursday as the stock of the leading Web search company breached a key technical level, setting investors to seek tools to protect against further falls in the shares or profit from a rebound, market participants said.
Shares of Internet titan Google fell just over 3 percent to close at $343 on the Nasdaq after hitting a low of $341.50. The drop in Google's share price pushed the stock to finish below its 200-day moving average for the first time ever.
"Google dropped today, breaking its 200-day moving average of around $345, prompting some players to seek puts to protect long stock positions and others to buy calls on anticipation of a bounce," said Al Thompson, an options trader at Timber Hill, a division of Interactive Brokers.
Thompson noticed a steady rise in the implied or projected volatilities in Google this week reflecting increased investor demand to own both put and call options in anticipation of a large move in the stock.
Google's March implied volatility -- the anticipated volatility of the stock as indicated by its option prices -- rose to around 45 percent, up from its 26-week average of 41 percent, said Paul Foster, strategist at financial-information Web site theflyonthewall.com.
"This signals that investors continue to have anxiety over the direction of the stock," Foster said.
The rise in volatility was accompanied by a spurt in Google options volume on Thursday and judging by the almost equal amount of calls and puts traded, bullish and bearish sentiment seemed to be mixed.
An equity call gives the right to buy the security at a predetermined price within a specified time period. A put conveys the right to sell the security.
Roughly 95,200 calls and more than 96,000 puts changed hands in the U.S. options market, above the previous session's tally of 149,406 contracts, according to market research firm Track Data.
