What PEP Looks Like to Options Traders Today
IV rank of 42.5% 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 (-$27.6M) means dealers hedge with trend, amplifying realized volatility and accelerating directional moves; the 25-delta skew (0.014) is roughly flat across the wings.
