$47.93

Outside the dominant wall range — directional momentum more likely than mean reversion.

Magnet Strength Details →

2.42× Very High (>2×)

Current OI 171,094

30d Avg OI 70,860

Elevated OI — dealers carry larger hedges, making price walls structurally stronger.

Put/Call Ratio

0.84

NEUTRAL

Between 0.8–1.2 — balanced positioning. No strong directional lean from options flow alone.

Dominant Wall

$50

▲ Above spot

The highest OI concentration strike — the structural anchor dealers are most committed to hedging.

Distance to #1 Wall

$-2.07

-4.32%

Price is below the dominant wall — acts as resistance.

Wall Skew

+0.019

BALANCED

Balanced call/put OI at the dominant wall — no dominant dealer incentive in either direction.

Today's Top Setup — VZ

SQUEEZE, PIN, and CAGE scored 0–100 from OI structure. Highest score = today's highest-conviction setup.

PIN — 53.7% hit rate (n=1,719). CAGE — 45.4% (n=1,161). SQUEEZE — 49.5% (n=5,555). Half hit, half don't — the edge is asymmetric payoff.

Dealer Magnet Strength

When total OI is elevated vs its 30-day rolling average, dealer hedging is heavier — walls act like magnets. Very High = stronger PIN / CAGE conviction. Near-normal = weaker structural hold.
