Flow Summary

Net premium: +$69.6M bullish

P/C volume ratio: 0.69

P/C OI ratio: 1.15

Heavy call flow and positive net premium ($69.6M) dominate. GEX is positive ($18.2M) with pinning gamma regime. Unusual prints show aggressive near-term call buying, notably the $412.5 and $417.5 strikes expiring tomorrow. Broadly bullish positioning leans toward further upside, but spot at max pain keeps risk of pinning.

Institutional Positioning

Call additions: Aggressive call buys at 412.5-430 strikes, weekly expiries 5/22 & 5/27

Put additions: Light put buys at 420P (Jun) and OTM 320P (May)

GEX/DEX consistency: GEX +$18.2M, DEX +46.1M shares; both positive, consistent with bullish flow and pinning near 415-420

OI clusters: OI clusters at 415C (968) and 417.5C (747) weekly; put OI high at 320 (235) but low delta

Hedging evidence: No clear hedging; flow is directional calls with minimal protective puts

Max pain context: MP near 415; spot at MP, supporting pinning

Signal vs Noise

~High vol/oi ratios on 412.5C, 422.5C, 432.5C indicate real new bullish flow – signal

~The 320P with high vol/oi is noise – deep OTM, likely hedges, not directional

~Net premium $69.6M positive confirms institutional accumulation – signal

~Put/call OI ratio >1 is misleading due to put OI concentration – noise

Key Conclusions

📈Bullish call flow dominant; dealers long gamma with GEX +$18.2M, pinning at 415

⚠️Max pain at 415 and spot at MP reduce risk of sharp move; high VIX 17 adds caution

🟢Unusual prints show repeated buying of 415-417.5C weekly, suggesting an upside push

How to Use These Reports

This flow reflects the market close on May 21, 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.
