What UPWK Looks Like to Options Traders Today
IV rank of 20.6% 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 (-$52.5K) means dealers hedge with trend, amplifying realized volatility and accelerating directional moves; the 25-delta skew (0.020) is roughly flat across the wings.
