Hot Take | April 18, 2026, 2:13 p.m. EDT
NRC shows mixed signals with a strong short-term bearish bias due to negative forecasting model stats and elevated put activity, but the dividend yield and recent price action near key moving averages provide some support for a hold or slight upside lean. |

As of April 18, 2026, 2:13 p.m. EDT: Speculators are showing mixed signals. Calls are heavily weighted towards out-of-the-money (OTM) strikes, particularly on the June 18 expiration, with significant open interest (OI) on the 22.5 strike, suggesting potential for a bullish move. However, puts show high implied volatility (IV) on the July 18 expiration, with top OI on the 7.5 strike, indicating concern about downside risk. The ATM put on the June 18 expiration has high IV, indicating caution, while the ATM call on the same expiration has lower IV, suggesting some confidence in the current price level.
