OI clusters: Largest OI at 717C, 714C, 710C, 709P; gamma flip near 660.

Hedging evidence: Limited collars; 709P may hedge some call positions.

Max pain context: Spot below MP; pinning likely near 709-710.

Key Conclusions

🟢Institutions loading calls at 717-709, signaling upside bets despite negative gamma.
⚠️Negative GEX and spot below MP increase volatility risk.
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.
