📘 Show Options Market Insight

1. Core Volatility Signal (3.68% Standardized 1-Day Move)

“The ATM straddle implies a standardized 1-day move of 3.68%.”

This means:

  • Implied volatility is extremely high.
  • The market is pricing major event risk or uncertainty.
  • Large price swings are considered likely.

📌 Plain interpretation: Markets expect major movement — event-level risk is being priced in.

2. Expected Price Range (Next 3 Days)

The options market is pricing the following risk range:
7.92 – 8.64

Upper: +2.83%  •  Lower: -5.74%

🔻 Bearish Skew — downside risk exceeds upside potential.

3. Bullish Flow vs Bearish Flow

▶ Bullish Flow

Bullish flow is limited, with no strong upside clustering. Option markets show only mild or passive upside interest.

▶ Bearish Flow

Downside pressure clusters near 7.65 (8.87% below spot).
This is a downside “magnet zone” where put demand concentrates.

4. Flow Strength: 0.58

Flow strength is weak — option activity is scattered or light, making directional signals less reliable.

5. ATM Straddle Cost

The ATM straddle costs 0.54 (6.37% of spot).

⚠️ Extremely high volatility premium — the market is bracing for a major event.

🔥 Professional Summary

1️⃣ The options market assigns greater weight to downside risk.
2️⃣ Implied volatility is high — the market expects significant movement.
3️⃣ Put activity dominates — bearish positioning carries more weight.
4️⃣ FlowStrength 0.58 indicates moderate informational value.

⭐ One-sentence takeaway: The options market is pricing elevated downside risk for ENVX.

The insights are generated by an AI-driven options analysis model. We strongly recommend interpreting the data in the context of your own judgment and market understanding.

DPI Trend Index

Dealer Position Index (DPI) tracks how options dealers are positioned. Rising DPI → dealers long options (mean reversion). Falling DPI → dealers short options (trend amplification).
DPI does not predict direction. It only answers one question: once price moves, will the market reinforce that move? DPI reflects the direction and strength of dealer gamma exposure — not a bullish or bearish call.

Latest Trend Interpretation:

Neutral consolidation, trend and momentum are indistinct. From the current DPI structure, dealers appear largely neutral, suggesting limited willingness to reinforce directional price moves.

Gamma Exposure & Expiry Risk Zones

Gamma Exposure (GEX) defines how option dealer hedging interacts with price moves. Large expiries can sharply alter hedging pressure and trigger volatility shifts.

Market GEX vs Price History

Aggregate gamma exposure plotted with underlying price. Sharp GEX declines or flip-zone tests often precede increased volatility.
