Flow Summary

Net premium: -$20.9M bearish

P/C volume ratio: 0.37

P/C OI ratio: 0.80

Aggressive OTM call buying dominates, especially for Jun 26 expiry. Low put/call volume ratio (0.37) and negative net premium indicate bullish sentiment despite elevated VIX. Dealers long delta (DEX +39.8M) but negative gamma. Spot ~93, 7% below MP, but call demand suggests upside conviction. Key level: gamma flip at 75.

Put additions: Strike 80 for 7/31

GEX/DEX consistency: GEX -$8.7M vs DEX +39.8M shares: inconsistent, dealers long delta short gamma

OI clusters: Put OI 13,483 at ~75; call OI rising weekly

Hedging evidence: Put wall at 75 and 80 put suggest protection

Max pain context: Spot ~93 below MP; negative gamma weakens pin; MP ~92-95

Signal vs Noise

~Unusual call volume weekly expirations: bullish speculation
~Put OI cluster at 75: institutional hedge
~Negative gamma regime increases volatility risk
~Dealers adding delta via DEX while short gamma creates hedging flow
~Low put/call volume ratio (0.37) vs OI (0.80): near-term call bias

Key Conclusions

🟢Call buying in near-term strikes signals bullish positioning
🟢Put wall at 75 provides downside support
⚠️Negative gamma and spot below MP imply increased pinning risk
ℹ️Elevated VIX (17.3) adds options premium; flow mixed
How to Use These Reports
This flow reflects the market close on June 22, 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.
