Risk Alerts

!Earnings 5/06 — IV already elevated for May expiries. Close all short premium positions before announcement.
!Negative GEX (-$30.2M) indicates trending regime — beware of accelerated moves below $95 gamma flip.
!Massive $95 put OI (14,014) acts as magnet but break could cause sharp drop.
!Unusual put flow at $88 strike (4/10 expiry) suggests institutional downside hedging.
!Net premium flow negative (-$7.4M) indicates more premium paid for puts than calls — bearish sentiment.
!Ex-dividend date not in data — monitor for early assignment on deep ITM short calls.
