Key Levels
Dealer Positioning (GEX/DEX)
GEX: $-6.5M
DEX: +53.1M shares
Gamma flip: ~$300 (Approx — based on put OI concentration of 13,771 (28.4% below spot))
NTM gamma: GEX -$6.5M (negative) implies dealer hedge on downside; DEX +53.1M shares shows bullish delta but gamma flip risk.
IV Analysis
IV vs VIX: IV rich vs VIX 15; high vol reflects event risk.
Term structure: Backwardated near expiry (June 5) due to event premium; longer tenors lower.
Skew: Put skew elevated; selling OTM puts (e.g., $400) if spot holds $385.

Risks & Catalysts
Strategy Viability
| Strategy | Edge | Best Setup | Primary Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bear put spread | Moderate | Buy 2026-06-18 $400.00/$380.00 put spread Why now: Negative gamma and spot below max pain suggest pin lower; bear put spread limits cost. | Upside risk if spot rallies above short put strike; time decay works against spread. |
| Long put | Moderate-Weak | Buy 2026-06-18 $400.00 put Why now: High put volume and negative gamma support downside; long put offers convexity. | Time decay if spot doesn't move; volatility crush could hurt. |
| Put diagonal | Moderate | Sell 2026-06-18 $400.00 put / buy 2026-07-17 $380.00 put Why now: Near-term puts have elevated IV; calendar benefits from decay while maintaining bearish skew. | If spot rallies above short put strike, short leg could lose; requires patience. |

Tactical Summary
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.
Reports are most useful for narrowing the playbook, surfacing entry and risk context, and deciding which raw data page to inspect next.
These are interpretation layers, not execution guarantees. Validate the setup against chain liquidity, expected move, and exposure before sizing risk.
