Spot
Max pain
436.79480.99 ± 44.20525.19
Confirmation level
A close beyond 525.19 or below 436.79 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
Put-heavy activity
Put-side activity dominates. This can reflect hedging or directional positioning, but the chain alone cannot distinguish buying from selling.
Options pressure and weekly price action are pointing in the same constructive direction.
Put-heavy activity matters because it connects the options headline to the actual evidence: $1.2M 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.
