●Call wall at $100 (3k contracts), 31% above spot — the upside strike the crowd is already parked on; often acts as near-term resistance.
●Put wall at $70 (1k contracts), 8% below spot — the hedge floor; often acts as support.
●Deep-OTM call OI is 9.8× deep-OTM put OI — speculative upside positioning dominates the tails.
