Priced Move

Where the chain says movement becomes exceptional

Size, not direction · through 21 Aug

Options imply 116.09 to 130.25. Max pain at 120.00 sits inside that range, 2.6% below spot.

Spot Max pain
116.09123.17 ± 7.08130.25
Confirmation level

A close beyond 130.25 or below 116.09 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

Directional flow, confirmation needed

35/100
Primary intent Directional flow, confirmation needed

There is useful activity, but aggregate chain data does not isolate participant intent.

Flow vs price divergence Bullish flow confirms price

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

Why this matters

Directional flow, confirmation needed matters because it connects the options headline to the actual evidence: $410 of estimated gross traded notional, calls · 46-90 days · atm, 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.
