What POOL Looks Like to Options Traders Today
IV rank of 46.8% 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 (-$76.9K) means dealers hedge with trend, amplifying realized volatility and accelerating directional moves; the 25-delta skew (0.038) prices calls richer than puts, often reflecting upside speculation or squeeze risk.
