Don't own this for long-term exposure due to extreme dilution and NAV erosion risks inherent to leveraged ETFs, but the current short-term technicals suggest a tactical implementation of the 3x daily reset benefit is working as price climbs past the last month's low; however, the heavy downside option flow at deeper strikes (June onwards) acts as a significant risk, tempering the upside momentum.

As of April 18, 2026, 11:58 p.m. EDT: Recent expiration (Apr 17) shows net bullish positioning with 97 contracts of calls vs 44 of puts, concentrated at strikes 10-13. Deep OTM puts ($9, $10) show high Volume-to-OI ratios (2x, 6x) indicating hedge activity or gamma risk, but Expiration 2026-06-18 and 2026-09-18 reveal underlying bearish sentiment: heavy call volume at deep OTM strikes ($8 x 16 contracts, $12 x 22 contracts, $16+$22, $22 x 2 contracts) suggests bet on significant downside or aggressive hedging against deep rallies.
