As of April 11, 2026, 3:51 p.m. EDT: Options activity shows a mix of call and put positions, with higher IV and OI observed at strikes above the current price, indicating potential bullish sentiment. However, there are also significant put positions at lower strikes, suggesting some bearish speculation. The presence of major OI walls and volume spikes at higher strikes suggests that traders are positioning for potential upside, while the put activity may indicate some caution. The overall options data suggests a balanced view with potential for both upward and downward movements, but the higher IV at upper strikes indicates more optimism about future price increases.
