As of April 11, 2026, 2:48 p.m. EDT: The options activity suggests mixed signals. For calls, there's significant open interest and volume around the 35.0 strike, indicating some bullish sentiment, particularly for the April 17 expiration. However, the overall predicted price direction is slightly negative, which might indicate caution. Puts show higher implied volatility, especially for the October 16 expiration, suggesting potential bearish speculation or hedging. The ATM anchors for puts at lower strikes could imply some downside protection or bearish bias among speculators.
