Flow Summary

Net premium: +$4.0M bullish

P/C volume ratio: 0.49

P/C OI ratio: 0.49

Heavy call buying near term vs bearish put spreads below suggest hedging; net premium positive supports bullish flow, but negative gamma and spot below MP warrant caution. Unusual put buys at $13 and $10 indicate downside protection.

Institutional Positioning

Call additions: Large call accumulation at $15.5 strikes across May/June

Put additions: Moderate put activity at $13 (Jun) and $10 (Nov)

GEX/DEX consistency: Bullish flow contradicts negative gamma; dealers may be short gamma

OI clusters: Put OI 78.9k near $13; call OI at $15.5

Hedging evidence: Puts at low strikes and negative GEX suggest hedging

Max pain context: Spot 7.2% below MP; MP likely near $13.5-$14

Signal vs Noise

~Positive net premium and call volume ratio signal bullish flow
~Unusual put volume at low strikes likely hedging, not directional
~Negative GEX increases upside sensitivity but adds noise

Key Conclusions

📈Bullish flow with calls outweighing puts 2:1; net premium $4M positive.
⚠️Negative GEX and low VIX could cause sharp moves; monitor gamma flip at $15.
🛡️Put activity at $10 and $13 suggests downside hedging or bearish speculation.
How to Use These Reports
This flow reflects the market close on May 13, 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.
