Flow Verdict

BiasBearish
Confirmation: Price closes below 407.5
Invalidation: Price closes above 420
Confidence:
6.5 / 10
base 5; -1 GEX/flow contradict; +1 GEX positive (pinning); +0.5 spot 1.9% from MP; +1 VIX 17

Watch next session: Monitor VIX and SPY for continued pressure; Watch put OI buildup at 405-407.5

Flow Summary

Net premium: -$7.6M bearish

P/C volume ratio: 0.86

P/C OI ratio: 0.74

Heavy put buying (notably 407.5/405/402.5) drives net premium negative despite bullish GEX. High VIX and put flow suggest downside hedging into expiry. Above max pain but big put walls cap upside.

Institutional Positioning

Call additions: Minimal; OTM calls near 410 see volume but OI small, likely closing

Put additions: Massive: 405-420 strikes, >500k volumes, puts dominate

GEX/DEX consistency: Mixed: GEX positive (+170M) but net put flow negative, DEX positive (114M shares) – dealers hedged bullish but selling pressure?

OI clusters: Puts: 405 (1.4k), 407.5 (0.6k), 410 (1.2k); Calls: 407.5 (2.5k) and 410 (3.9k)

Hedging evidence: Put buying across multiple strikes suggests hedging or bearish speculation

Max pain context: Spot above MP; pinning to 410-412.5 zone; MP likely ~400

Signal vs Noise

~High vol/oi put prints at 405, 407.5, 410 are signal – genuine flow
~GEX positive despite heavy put flow is signal – dealers are long gamma
~Low IV on OTM puts (405 put IV 4.4%) is noise – likely no directional edge

Key Conclusions

📉Put flow dominates at 405-410 strikes, ~762K net premium negative
🟢GEX +$170M positive gamma, pinning spot toward 410
⚠️Mixed signals: heavy puts vs. positive gamma – wait for break
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.
