As of April 11, 2026, 2:45 p.m. EDT: Options activity shows mixed signals. For the May 15 expiration, there is a slight bias towards OTM calls, with higher open interest and volume on the 47.0 strike, suggesting some speculation on a potential upward move. However, the ATM call has low volume and open interest, which could indicate limited confidence in the immediate direction. For the August 21 expiration, the focus is on OTM calls with higher open interest on the 48.0 strike, indicating a possible bullish sentiment for the longer term. The absence of significant put activity suggests limited bearish speculation. Overall, the options data suggests a cautious bullish stance, but with limited conviction.
