Options positioning watch: INTC — 2026-07-22 (0 DTE).

Put/call volume ratio: 0.65; put/call OI ratio: 0.83. Calls traded 127,514 contracts versus 83,430 puts.

The nearest ATM straddle around $104.00 prices an approximate ±$1.15 move, or 1.1% of spot, through expiry.

Near-OTM IV skew proxy: puts above calls by 7.0 volatility points.

Anomaly screen: put $107.00: 2,111 volume, 19.2x vol/OI; call $107.00: 21,960 volume, 17.8x vol/OI; put $106.00: 5,425 volume, 16.6x vol/OI.

Read-through: call volume is materially heavier than put volume; near-OTM puts carry a notable IV premium to calls; the anomaly screen surfaced notable volume/OI outliers. This describes positioning, not trade direction.
