Flow Summary

Net premium: -$430.7M bearish

P/C volume ratio: 0.87

P/C OI ratio: 0.58

Heavy OTM call buying (e.g., $390, $388) suggests upside bets, but negative net premium from large put buying at $355 indicates hedging. Call volume ratio >1 and high open interest skew support bullish bias with caution.

Institutional Positioning

Call additions: Aggressive short-dated calls at 387-391 strikes (vol/OI >5) and June 17 $400 call (10.8x OI).

Put additions: Notable puts: June 30 $355 (4.7x OI), Jan 2027 $510 (4.6x OI), and $387 (4x OI).

GEX/DEX consistency: Yes. Negative GEX (-$95.4M) and positive DEX (+96.7M shares) consistent with dealer hedging of call buying.

OI clusters: Large put OI at ~$360 (101k contracts). Also notable at $400 call and $510 put.

Hedging evidence: Far-dated $510 put suggests tail hedge against gold upside; $360 put OI acts as floor.

Max pain context: Spot near max pain; regime indicates 'At' MP. Expect pinning near current levels.

Signal vs Noise

~0DTE call sweep at $390 (10k vol vs 1.8k OI) is signal of bullish positioning.
~Multiple small calls at 387-389 with vol/OI ~4-5 signal coordinated buying.
~Far OTM $510 put with 613 vol vs 133 OI is likely noise if hedging; the Jun 30 $355 put (4.7x OI) is signal.

Key Conclusions

📈Aggressive 0DTE call sweeps at $387-391 suggest bullish conviction; spot near MP adds to pin probability.
⚠️Far OTM $510 put and $355 put indicate downside hedging; large put OI at $360 provides support.
🔒Dealers lean long delta (positive DEX, negative GEX); gamma flip above $360 could fuel upside.
How to Use These Reports
This flow reflects the market close on June 12, 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.
