Hot Take | April 18, 2026, 11:18 p.m. EDT

Royal Gold is a solid long-term buy with a reliable yield, but the short-term chart shows exhaustion around the 265-270 resistance. The options chain reveals aggressive call buying targeting a break above $290, pushing the immediate upside preference. While the fundamental turnaround story and 7.1% yield are strong, the stock is currently overextended, trading above its 50-day average. Expect a potential tedious grind higher or a technical test of local support before the next leg up.

As of April 18, 2026, 11:18 p.m. EDT: Speculators are positioning for upside momentum, evidenced by the heavy volume in out-of-the-money (OTM) calls (strikes 290/300 for May and 310/320 for June/Dec). Speculative volume significantly exceeded Open Interest on keys like 290 (May) and 310 (June), suggesting new money flowing in. A weak support-based put formation appears at 260-270, but overall positioning favors a price increase. However, significant OTM put volume exists at distant strikes (e.g., <160 for July/Sept), indicating a 'strangle' hedge against deep corrections without fearing a crash.
