Regime Classification

Vol Regime
High
High IV reflecting elevated uncertainty despite VIX ~18; AMD IV likely above median.
Gamma Regime
Pinning
Positive GEX $+148.1M supports pinning near $480 MP; substantial put OI at $390 creates downside gamma flip risk.
Flow Regime
Bullish
Bullish flow with net premium buying; P/C ratio suggests call bias.
Spot vs Max Pain
Above
Spot above $480 max pain (June 12); pinning pressure upward but gamma flip at $390 looms.
Thesis duration: Multi-week — Multiple expiry pin levels and large dealer gamma position suggest directional bias extending beyond single event.

How to Use These Reports
This directional reflects the market close on June 12, 2026.
What the reports do

Each report translates the same market-close options snapshot into a specific lens such as directional bias, premium-selling posture, flow quality, or earnings setup.

How traders use them

Reports are most useful for narrowing the playbook, surfacing entry and risk context, and deciding which raw data page to inspect next.

What to remember

These are interpretation layers, not execution guarantees. Validate the setup against chain liquidity, expected move, and exposure before sizing risk.

If the report conviction and the raw data disagree, slow down and resolve the mismatch before sizing risk.
