As of April 18, 2026, 1:15 p.m. EDT: Bullish call positioning dominates with elevated volume and open interest around ATM (430) and near-ATM strikes (420, 410). Puts show low activity and limited open interest, indicating limited bearish sentiment. ATM call IV (65%) and elevated OTM call volume suggest speculative bullishness, while puts exhibit minimal flow despite higher IV on deep OTM strikes.
