Hot Take | April 18, 2026, 10:51 p.m. EDT

Short-term momentum is flashing a bullish reversal signal driven by a 'stop-run' defense: massive put volume at $12.50 is creating a psychological barrier, while aggressive call buying above $25.0 suggests at least one major player anticipates a breach of recent highs. The far-dated calls exhibit asymmetric IV spikes (up to 152%), signaling that risk-on traders are pricing in a potential +72% gain scenario, despite the current 37.88% short interest and bearish consensus. This is a classic 'bet against the bears' setup.

As of April 18, 2026, 10:51 p.m. EDT: Put traders have established a massive hedge of 13.6k OI at $12.50 for June expiration, indicating strong institutional fear of a downside breach. However, this is offset by aggressive call activity with a 25.0 strike 'Major OI Wall' in July, a 30.0 call 'IV Spike' (152% of ATM), and a significant volume spike at the 21.0 strike in May. The disproportionate long gamma at $25.0 suggests speculators are willing to buy into a severe recovery. For April/May, the 15.0 strike serves as a strong ATM anchor, while the 2.5 deep ITM flow in June calls hints at asymmetric risk-seeking structure.
