$HYPE options are screaming volatility incoming.
69% of call OI sits 15%+ OTM, heaviest at $90 strike—that's 60% above spot. Translation: degen longs betting on a moonshot.
Put side? 60% clustered at $50 or lower. Nobody's positioned near current price. This is a barbell setup—either rip or dip, no middle ground.
Dealer gamma is negative around spot. That means hedging flows will amplify moves, not dampen them. Volatility feeds on itself here.
Upside demand spiked hard in the last 24h. Calls were trading at a massive discount to puts for weeks—that gap just collapsed in one session. IV bounced off a 3-week low.
Market is coiled. Options are pricing a violent move in either direction. Position accordingly.
