Institutional Positioning

Call additions: High-strike calls 960/1000/1100 volume elevated; OI building 950-1000.

Put additions: Puts added at 590, 665, 850, 890; 850 put OI 657 (12.2% below spot).

GEX/DEX consistency: Inconsistent: GEX -$1.3M (short gamma), DEX +5.8M (long delta).

OI clusters: Call OI at 950-1000; Put OI heavy at 850, 890, 590.

Hedging evidence: Put buying at 590/665/850/890 signals downside hedging.

Max pain context: Spot near MP; put OI concentration suggests pin near 850.

Signal vs Noise

~Put/call volume ratio 1.77 is real hedging flow.
~Net premium +$46M but mixed with put-heavy ratio.
~Negative GEX vs positive DEX indicates dealer hedging.
~Unusual prints at high strikes (3.2x vol/oi) are likely part of spreads.

Key Conclusions

⚠️Put-heavy flow and negative gamma suggest downside risk, but call accumulation at 950-1000 adds ambiguity.
🛡️Hedging evident via put buying below spot; potential collar activity between 850 and 1000.
📊High put OI at 850 (12.2% below spot) acts as put wall; spot may drift lower.
How to Use These Reports
This flow reflects the market close on May 26, 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.
