Flow Analysis

Net premium: Net -$21.8M; call volume high but likely selling (P/C vol 0.65) indicates bearish flow.

Directional prints: 46 call 128 OTM 2026-06-18 — Vol/OI 29.4; high IV suggests sold calls (bearish) by a seller collecting premium. 45.5 call 131 OTM 2026-06-18 — Vol/OI 7.1; similar bearish sale of OTM calls. 104.7 put 75 OTM 2026-06-26 — Deep OTM put with high IV; likely bought for tail-risk hedge (bearish).

Unusual: 8.6 call 129 OTM 2026-06-12 — Vol/OI 26.6; extreme same-day volume in OTM call with low IV; likely closing or speculative. 15.2 call 130 OTM 2026-06-12 — Vol/OI 12.3; similar massive same-day OTM call volume; unusual concentration.

How to Use These Reports
This directional reflects the market close on June 12, 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.
