What BUR Looks Like to Options Traders Today
IV rank of 38.7% sits near the 1-year median, where strategy choice depends on directional conviction and the event calendar rather than vol regime alone; negative net gamma exposure (-$4.9K) means dealers hedge with trend, amplifying realized volatility and accelerating directional moves; the 25-delta skew (0.834) prices calls richer than puts, often reflecting upside speculation or squeeze risk.
