Current TONX snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $3.71, ATM IV 151.80%, IV rank 26.07%, expected move 43.52%. The bear put spread on TONX below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.
Why this bear put spread structure on TONX specifically: TONX IV at 151.80% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a TONX bear put spread, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 43.52% (roughly $1.61 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TONX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TONX should anchor to the underlying notional of $3.71 per share and to the trader's directional view on TONX stock.
TONX bear put spread setup
The TONX bear put spread below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With TONX near $3.71, the first option leg uses a $3.71 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TONX chain at a 34-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 TONX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

TONX thesis for this bear put spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TONX extends from approximately $2.10 on the downside to $5.32 on the upside. A TONX bear put spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bearish position; relative to an outright long put on TONX, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current TONX IV rank near 26.07% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on TONX at 151.80%. As a Financial Services name, TONX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TONX-specific events.
TONX bear put spread positions are structurally moderately bearish; the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. TONX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TONX alongside the broader basket even when TONX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bear put spread on TONX are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome.
