OI clusters: Largest OI at $36C (2296) and $37C (991); put OI concentrated near $34-$36

Max pain context: Spot above MP, pinning near $36 with positive gamma; gamma flip at $30 from put OI

Signal vs Noise

~Low put/call volume ratio (0.23) real signal of call dominance
~Unusual prints with vol/OI >10 represent real flow, not noise

Key Conclusions

🚀Bullish flow dominates; net premium $91.8M, GEX positive, call OI building at $36-$37.
⚠️Spot 16.3% above MP; risk of pinning pullback if no catalyst.
📊High IV (>100%) reflects elevated uncertainty; position sizing critical.
How to Use These Reports
This flow reflects the market close on June 22, 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.
