What MTH Looks Like to Options Traders Today
IV rank of 14.3% 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 (-$365.8K) means dealers hedge with trend, amplifying realized volatility and accelerating directional moves; the 25-delta skew (0.031) prices calls richer than puts, often reflecting upside speculation or squeeze risk.
