Options Intent Radar
Multi-expiry position-maintenance candidate
Activity is spread across expirations with heavier open interest than current volume, which can be consistent with position maintenance.
Call-side pressure is building before a meaningful weekly price response.
Multi-expiry position-maintenance candidate matters because it connects the options headline to the actual evidence: $336648 of estimated gross traded notional, calls · 91+ days · itm, and a bullish flow before price confirmation backdrop. Use it as a research priority signal, then validate the chart, liquidity, event calendar, and risk before acting.

Agreement between options pressure and Sharemaestro market context.
