Flow Summary

Net premium: +$468.6M bullish

P/C volume ratio: 0.99

P/C OI ratio: 1.71

Heavy same-day call buying in OTM strikes (734-743) drove net premium positive, but put-heavy OI and many low-priced calls suggest closing or speculative trades, not strong directional conviction.

How to Use These Reports
This flow reflects the market close on June 4, 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.
