What the positioning says

●Bullish positioning: only 0.55 puts per call outstanding.
●Call wall at $45 (475 contracts), 6% above spot — the upside strike the crowd is already parked on; often acts as near-term resistance.
●Put wall at $42 (635 contracts), 1% below spot — the hedge floor; often acts as support.
●30-day ATM implied volatility is 18% — calm pricing; option premium is cheap.
