Priced Move

Where the chain says movement becomes exceptional

Size, not direction · through 21 Aug

Options imply 38.70 to 46.04. Max pain at 45.00 sits inside that range, 6.2% above spot.

Spot Max pain
38.7042.37 ± 3.6746.04
Confirmation level

A close beyond 46.04 or below 38.70 at the 21 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.

Options Intent Radar

Earnings/event positioning

73/100
Primary intent Earnings/event positioning

Options activity is concentrated around a live event window, so the cleanest read is event positioning rather than pure direction.

Flow vs price divergence Bullish flow confirms price

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

Why this matters

Earnings/event positioning matters because it connects the options headline to the actual evidence: $5722 of estimated gross traded notional, puts · 46-90 days · otm, 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.
