What ARCO Looks Like to Options Traders Today
IV rank of 100.0% signals elevated pricing relative to the 1-year history, conditions that typically favor premium-selling structures (credit spreads, iron condors, covered calls); positive net gamma exposure ($4.1K) means dealers hedge against trend, damping realized volatility and biasing price toward heavy-OI strikes; the 25-delta skew (-0.047) prices puts richer than calls, the typical equity downside-protection skew.
