  • 2026-06-18 (6d): ±$6.35 (5.0%)

  • 2026-07-02 (20d): ±$11.33 (8.8%)

IV Setup

Term structure: Slightly upward sloping; 52-day IV ~45%, near-term IV higher, reflecting earnings uncertainty.

Crush estimate: Moderate crush post-earnings; IV likely drops ~10-15 points.

Skew: Call skew elevated near term; put support $110-$120 based on OI.

Historical Context

Avg move vs expected: Average move near implied; beat rate 100% suggests upside bias.

Key Levels

1$120.00 gamma flip
2EM guardrails: 1w $121.64/$134.34
3Max pain pins: $134 (2026-06-12); $130 (2026-06-18); $139 (2026-06-26)

Flow Highlights

Massive OTM call buying on weekly expirations (e.g., $128C vol/OI 46.9, $129C 26.6).

Speculative bullish bets; may indicate anticipation of short-term upside.

Deep OTM put at $75 (IV 105%) with elevated volume.

Tail hedge against severe downside; low probability but high IV.

Strategies

Pre-Earnings Range Play
Sell 2026-07-10 $125.00/$120.00 put wing and $135.00/$137.00 call wing
Credit: $2.23-$2.72
Max loss: $2.28
Max gain: $2.72
BE: 122.28 / 137.72
Trigger: Close at 50% profit or adjust if spot nears wings.
Avoids earnings event; profits from range-bound price action; high IV makes premium attractive.
Outperforms: Sells put and call wings to capture theta and IV contraction.
Underperforms: Move outside short strikes invalidates range thesis.
Cheap Upside Bet
Buy 2026-06-18 $124.00 put + buy $132.00 call
Debit: $2.88-$3.52
Max loss: $3.52
Max gain: Unlimited
BE: 120.48 / 135.52
Trigger: Set stop at 50% loss; exit before earnings.
100% beat rate supports upside; strangle cheaper than straddle with similar exposure.
Outperforms: Buys OTM put and call to profit from large post-earnings move.
Underperforms: Insufficient realized move reduces long-strangle edge.
High IV Long Vol
Buy 2026-06-18 $128.00 put + buy $128.00 call
Debit: $5.71-$6.99
Max loss: $6.99
Max gain: Unlimited
BE: 121.01 / 134.99
Trigger: Manage gamma risk; close if IV collapses.
Highest premium cost but captures both directions; IV may be overpriced with 52 days to earnings.
Outperforms: Buys ATM put and call for maximum gamma exposure.
Underperforms: Under-realized move and IV crush hurt long-vol thesis.

Risk Assessment

!Large call OI wall $140-$170 caps upside.
!Gamma flip near $120; break below accelerates selling.
!High IV may be overpriced with 52 days to earnings.

?Price reaction to EM guardrails ($121.64/$134.34).
?Sustained call buying into earnings.
?Earnings date confirmation and revisions.
How to Use These Reports
This earnings 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.
