Flow Summary

Net premium: +$4.1B bullish

P/C volume ratio: 1.01

P/C OI ratio: 1.56

Despite a 3.38% surge, massive put volume at deep OTM strikes signals hedging and bearish expectations. Negative gamma and high put OI indicate pin risk near $700. Concentrated put activity likely caps upside, favoring downside.

How to Use These Reports
This flow reflects the market close on June 11, 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.
