deep-OTM puts vs calls

What the positioning says

●Defensive positioning: 1.90 puts outstanding per call — holders are hedging rather than selling.
●Call wall at $200 (17k contracts), 22% above spot — the upside strike the crowd is already parked on; often acts as near-term resistance.
●Put wall at $1 (46k contracts), 99% below spot — the hedge floor; often acts as support.
●Deep-OTM put open interest is 6.8× deep-OTM call OI — an institutional hedging ladder sits under this stock.
●30-day ATM implied volatility is 112% — the market prices very large moves; option premium is expensive.
