Put additions: Protective $200-$220 puts, large OI at $200 (21,310)

GEX/DEX consistency: Yes — positive GEX ($57.8M) + bullish flow aligned

OI clusters: $200 put wall (21,310 OI), $220 call cluster (19,844 OI), $240 call wall (16,892 OI)

Max pain context: MP at $210, spot above at $220.18, drifting toward pin

Signal vs Noise

~$20.00 call net premium ($8.8M) is likely a data error or extreme OTM noise — ignore
~$470/$450 put net premium (~$-4M each) are extreme OTM and likely hedging or structured trades, not directional
~High volume in near-term puts (e.g., $220, $225) may be part of spreads or hedging, not pure bearish bets

Key Conclusions

🐂Net premium strongly bullish ($39.9M) with call-dominant volume
📌Gamma pinning regime with positive GEX ($57.8M) supports stability near $220-$225
🛡️Large put OI at $200 (21,310) indicates institutional hedging, creating a floor
How to Use These Reports
This flow reflects the market close on April 6, 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.
