What LAD Looks Like to Options Traders Today
IV rank of 23.3% is subdued relative to the 1-year history, conditions that typically favor premium-buying or long-volatility structures (debit spreads, calendar spreads, long straddles); negative net gamma exposure (-$3.5M) means dealers hedge with trend, amplifying realized volatility and accelerating directional moves; the 25-delta skew (0.034) prices calls richer than puts, often reflecting upside speculation or squeeze risk.
