call credit spread

Sell $105/$110 call spread 4/24 (24 DTE)

Call wall at $105 (10.9K OI). High IV (57.6%) at 24 DTE. Spot needs 6% move to test. Bullish flow suggests ceiling resistance. Defined risk.

Credit: $0.60-$0.90

Max loss: $4.10

BE: Dynamic — best if pinning near $85

Mgmt: Close short leg at 80% decay (7-10 DTE). Roll short leg out if spot approaches $87. Exit if spot breaks below $83.

Risk Alerts

!Earnings 5/28 — close all short premium positions at least 1 week prior

!Falling max pain trend ($92 → $80 long-dated) suggests underlying pressure

!Gamma flip at $75 — breach triggers dealer selling amplification

!Bullish flow (Net Prem +$81M) could drive momentum through call walls

!High IV (>50%) can compress rapidly on calm — favor defined-risk spreads

!Unusual activity in 4/2 $105C (25K volume) suggests near-term volatility
