Flow Summary

Net premium: -$244.7M bearish

P/C volume ratio: 0.81

P/C OI ratio: 0.46

Bearish bias despite heavy call volume, as net premium negative ($-244M) and put OI concentrated below spot. Negative gamma (-$7.5M) makes dealers sell into dips. Unusual prints show large put buys at 590/587.5 for 6/8 and 6/12, hedging downside. Calls at 595 and 617.5 appear speculative. With spy/qqq down 2.6-4.8% and VIX elevated, sentiment favors downside. Confirmation on break below 580; invalidation above 600.

⚠️Spot 3.6% below max pain, negative GEX – dealers may push spot to 595
How to Use These Reports
This flow reflects the market close on June 5, 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.
