Earnings Verdict

SOFI 80% beat rate bullish, 42d to earnings; near-term gamma pinning at $17, put protection at $17.5. IV contango, crush risk post-earnings.

8 / 10
base 5; +2 GEX/flow strongly aligned; +1 GEX positive (pinning); -1 spot 18.1% from MP; +1 VIX 16
Most important: Heavy $17.5 put buying before 6/18 suggests hedging/bearish near-term; call buying at $18/$19 points to upside post-earnings.
⚠️Heavy $17.50 put buying (6.7x OI) suggests downside protection or bearish bet.
📈Call skew bullish with $18 call buying and $20-$25 OI wall.
🔮Earnings 42d away; IV contango offers premium but crush risk.

How to Use These Reports
This earnings reflects the market close on June 16, 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.
