The standout trade was the July 2
$200 call, which generated 15,505 contracts, dwarfing its 165 contracts of open interest recorded on Monday. The sharp gap between trading volume and existing open interest suggests a large number of new positions were initiated during the session, potentially reflecting expectations of a near-term catalyst or continued upside momentum.
three-month implied volatility slipped 0.12 percentage points to 29.19%, indicating slightly lower expectations for future price swings, while the three-month 90/110 skew increased 0.24 percentage points to 2.60%, reflecting a modest change in the relative pricing of downside versus upside options.
