Research Brief

CRWV has a bullish chain read with 43/100 evidence alignment.

The practical question is whether the underlying confirms the options concentration. The chain prices a reference range of 73.65–107.69; The largest call open-interest concentration is 110.00; the largest put concentration is 50.00. The most active strike by current volume is 115.00.

Call concentration110.00

Put concentration50.00

Max pain reference95.00

What would confirm it

Price holds or improves while call-side concentration remains elevated.

What would weaken it

Price weakens while call pressure fades or reverses toward puts.
Options and the weekly trend are not yet giving the same message.
Front-expiry volatility is rich, so the signal may be event-driven and vulnerable to volatility compression.

Priced Move

Where the chain says movement becomes exceptional

Size, not direction · through 14 Aug

Options imply 73.65 to 107.69. Max pain at 95.00 sits inside that range, 4.8% above spot.

Spot Max pain

73.6590.67 ± 17.02107.69

Confirmation level

A close beyond 107.69 or below 73.65 at the 14 Aug expiry would exceed the move currently priced by this chain.

Important limitation

The range is a pricing reference, not a forecast; volatility can reprice sharply after news or as expiry approaches.

Positive call-side proxy Negative put-side proxyHighlighted row is nearest spot strike

Scenario proxy = gamma × open interest × 100 shares × spot² × 1%. Calls are positive and puts negative by convention. Missing Greeks use a Black-Scholes estimate from stored IV with zero rate and dividend assumptions. Open interest does not reveal who is long or short, so this is not observed dealer positioning or a forecast.

Eligible snapshots must have a dated market session, stored signal, and point-in-time market reference. Each observation uses one read per market session and the first stored weekly close on or immediately after expiry; its original calculation version is retained. It is an evidence audit, not an executable strategy or evidence of future performance.

Options Intent Radar

Short-dated OTM call concentration

94/100

Primary intent Short-dated OTM call concentration

Call activity is concentrated in upside and shorter-dated contracts; trade direction remains unconfirmed without aggressor data.

Flow vs price divergence Bullish flow confirms price

Options pressure and weekly price action are pointing in the same constructive direction.

Why this matters

Short-dated OTM call concentration matters because it connects the options headline to the actual evidence: $246.3M of estimated gross traded notional, puts · 91+ days · itm, and a bullish flow confirms price backdrop. Use it as a research priority signal, then validate the chart, liquidity, event calendar, and risk before acting.
