As of April 11, 2026, 3:47 p.m. EDT: Options activity indicates a mix of bullish and bearish sentiment. The ATM strikes have significant open interest and volume, suggesting traders are closely watching the current price level. The IV spikes on certain strikes indicate increased volatility expectations, with a notable concentration of activity around the ATM strike of 47.0. This suggests traders are either hedging or anticipating potential price movements. The recent price increase and strong dividend yield support a positive outlook for short-term momentum.
