As of April 11, 2026, 3:28 p.m. EDT: The options activity indicates a mix of bullish and bearish sentiment. For the near-term expirations, there's a notable increase in call volume and open interest for strikes around $60, suggesting some bullish sentiment. However, the higher volatility and implied volatility (IV) for the June expiration, especially for the $50 strike, may signal increased uncertainty or potential for significant price swings. Puts show some activity, particularly around the $40 strike for the June expiration, indicating possible bearish speculation. Overall, the options market suggests a cautious outlook with potential for both upward and downward movements.
