As of April 11, 2026, 4:04 p.m. EDT: Options speculators are showing mixed signals. For calls, there is a notable amount of open interest (OI) and volume in out-of-the-money (OTM) strikes, particularly for the 82.0 strike in April 2026, suggesting some bullish sentiment. However, the implied volatility (IV) is relatively low, which might indicate a lack of strong conviction. For puts, there is more activity in OTM and in-the-money (ITM) strikes, especially for the 78.0 strike in July and October 2026, which could imply some bearish sentiment or hedging activity. The overall options data suggests a cautious outlook with potential for both upward and downward movements.
