GEX regime: Trending (GEX -$0.3M — pro-cyclical)

Gamma flip: ~$35.00 — Far below spot; dealers amplify moves in both directions

Risk Alerts

!Trending GEX (-$0.3M) — Dealers amplify price moves, increasing risk of breaching strikes.

!Extremely bearish flow (Net prem -$16.0M, P/C 1.70) indicates institutional put buying.

!Earnings estimated 2026-05-13 (~6 weeks) — Close or roll all positions before 5/1 to avoid earnings vol crush.

!Massive OI at $35 put (67,689) is a potential long-term magnet but far below current price.

!Unusual activity in 4/10 $64 puts (20,976 vol vs 224 OI) suggests bearish bets near-term.

!Gamma flip ~$35 is far below, indicating no dealer support near current price levels.
