Flow Summary

Net premium: +$66.4M bullish

P/C volume ratio: 0.76

P/C OI ratio: 0.82

Net premium positive ($66M) and low put/call ratios indicate bullish flow. Unusual call volume at $197.5 (85023 vs 439 OI) and $200 (261889 vs 7764 OI) targets upside. Heavy put volume at same strikes plus negative GEX (-$18.1M) suggest hedging and added volatility risk. Spot below max pain adds pull risk. Overall bullish but cautious.

~Negative GEX is warning but DEX positive.

Key Conclusions

🚀Aggressive call buying at $197.5 and $200.
⚠️Negative gamma ($-18.1M) exposes downside risk.
🛡️Put volume likely hedging, not bearish.
How to Use These Reports
This flow reflects the market close on June 24, 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.
