Theta Verdict

Attractiveness7 / 10
Sizing: Moderate
Primary: Short Put Spread
Invalidation: Break below $350 gamma flip or sharp vol spike
Confidence:
8 / 10
base 5; +2 GEX/flow strongly aligned; +0.5 spot 1.4% from MP; +0.5 VIX 19

IV Environment

IV Regime
Normal
IV vs VIX
IV (32.6%) well above VIX (18.9%)
Favorable?
Yes

Term structure: Elevated near-term IV (22-24%) with jumps at 10d and 22d; steep backwardation from 0dte.

📈IV elevated relative to VIX; term structure supports premium selling in weeklies.
⚡Negative dealer gamma ($-73.5M) could amplify moves; short premium requires tight risk management.

Pin Risk Assessment

Spot vs MP: Below

GEX regime: Trending ($-73.5M)

Gamma flip: ~$360.00 — Approx — based on put OI concentration of 101,934 (9.4% below spot)

OI concentrations: Max pain $403 with put OI concentration 101,934 near $360; call OI wall $425-$595.

Verdict: Elevated pin risk due to spot below max pain and concentrated put OI floor; watch $403 pin.

How to Use These Reports
This theta reflects the market close on June 8, 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.
