【July 8th US Stock Options Leaderboard】

Tesla's total options today is approximately $165 million: Calls $92.8 million (56%), Puts $71.7 million (44%), both sides are experiencing net selling pressure, B:S ≈ 0.9, indicating strong hedging against long positions. Over the past three trading days, the stock price has dropped from $317 to $297, a decline of more than 6%, coinciding with Musk's announcement to create the 'America Party' and Wedbush's call for the board to 'establish rules'.

TSLA's near-term IV ≈ 60%, but based on IV Rank (≈ 25%) and HV (≈ 72%), it is not extremely high. The main players are synchronously selling Calls/Puts, which seems more like locking in profits or rolling positions, rather than simply shorting Vega to press volatility.

Amazon's total call volume today is $84.7 million, accounting for 94%; two near-term 150 Call orders of $35.8 million/$35.3 million are both listed at MID, indicating that the major players are clearly positioning for Prime Day. Adobe Analytics predicts online consumption from July 8-11 to reach $23.8 billion, a year-on-year increase of 28%. If the data comes to fruition, a stock price breakthrough at $230 could trigger a Gamma squeeze; if it falls short of expectations, high IV (≈ 38%) provides a safety net for sellers.
