Spot vs MP: Below

GEX regime: Trending ($-20.9M)

Gamma flip: ~$60.00 — Approx — based on put OI concentration of 20,036 (14.2% below spot)

OI concentrations: Call OI wall at $80-$100, put floor $40-$60. Max pain $80 (2d) and $83 (9d).

Verdict: Spot at $72 below max pain; significant OI at $80/$83 increases pin risk around expiry.

How to Use These Reports
This theta reflects the market close on May 13, 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.
