What to watch

Supports this reading

  • Price remains weak while put-side concentration persists.
  • Participation is above the ticker's stored normal, which makes the read more noteworthy.

Would weaken it

  • Price recovers while put pressure fades or reverses toward calls.
  • Options and the weekly trend are not yet giving the same message.

The outcome record

What followed the dated readings?

Stock-price direction through expiry, using the first available weekly close on or just after expiry. These are not option-trade returns.

Recorded in advance

New readings are saved before their outcomes. A calculation change starts a separate record.

0 / 0

Non-overlapping directional readings followed through.

2 waiting for an outcome ยท 0 excluded by data or timing checks.

Too few independent outcomes to establish an edge.

Earlier saved readings

2 / 2

Non-overlapping directional readings followed through. 16 overlapping readings left out.

Always-up baseline: 50% ยท Always-down: 50%.

95% interval: 34โ€“100%.

This is a retrospective audit of saved versions, separate from the record collected in advance.

How to read this

The baselines use the same stocks and observation windows. They ask whether a simple up or down call did as well.

Removing overlapping windows reduces repeated counting. It does not make market observations fully independent.

The interval shows sampling uncertainty. Costs, execution and option selection are not tested here.

Priced Move

The priced move through expiry

Size, not direction ยท through 16 Oct

Options imply 41.02 to 47.32. Max pain at 45.00 sits inside that range, 1.9% above spot.

Spot Max pain
41.0244.17 ยฑ 3.1547.32
Confirmation level

A close beyond 47.32 or below 41.02 at the 16 Oct 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 ร— open interest ร— 100 shares ร— spotยฒ ร— 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.

  • Coverage checks passed; quotes can still change before a trade.

Aggregate chain data supports concentration, participation and pricing analysis. It does not identify trade aggressor, opening versus closing activity, multi-leg intent or dealer inventory.

Options Intent Radar

Put-heavy activity

94/100
Primary intent Put-heavy activity

Put-side activity dominates. This can reflect hedging or directional positioning, but the chain alone cannot distinguish buying from selling.

Flow vs price divergence Bearish flow before price confirmation

Put-side pressure is present before a decisive weekly price breakdown.

Why this matters

Put-heavy activity matters because it connects the options headline to the actual evidence: $1.4M of estimated gross traded notional, puts ยท 46-90 days ยท otm, and a bearish flow before price confirmation backdrop. Use it as a research priority signal, then validate the chart, liquidity, event calendar, and risk before acting.
