What CNQ Looks Like to Options Traders Today
IV rank of 71.0% 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 ($9.1M) means dealers hedge against trend, damping realized volatility and biasing price toward heavy-OI strikes; the 25-delta skew (0.029) prices calls richer than puts, often reflecting upside speculation or squeeze risk.
