What the positioning says

●Bullish positioning: only 0.42 puts per call outstanding.
●Call wall at $80 (508 contracts), 21% above spot — the upside strike the crowd is already parked on; often acts as near-term resistance.
●Put wall at $50 (231 contracts), 24% below spot — the hedge floor; often acts as support.
●Deep-OTM call OI is 2.4× deep-OTM put OI — speculative upside positioning dominates the tails.
