As of April 11, 2026, 3:57 p.m. EDT: Options activity suggests a mix of bullish and bearish sentiment, with increased open interest and volume on both calls and puts. The ATM strikes are showing moderate interest, indicating some traders are anticipating price stability around the current level. However, there are also significant put positions at strikes below the current price, suggesting potential bearish bias. The higher IV levels on out-of-the-money strikes indicate increased volatility expectations, which could be due to upcoming earnings or market events. Overall, the options market is showing a cautious outlook with mixed signals.
