GOOGL Broken-Wing Bull Put — 2026-10-30

GOOGL (Alphabet Inc. - Class A Common Stock): $1096K of buyer-initiated unusual call flow (100% call-dominant), IV rank 51 (moderate). Our gamma model reads GOOGL in a NEGATIVE-gamma regime (net GEX 17.9M, flip 356.67) — dealers are short gamma and amplify moves, so this is defined-risk only and leans with the flow. Structured as a Broken-Wing Bull Put (sell $350P / buy $347.5P) expiring 2026-10-30 (21 DTE) — negative-gamma (trend/gap risk) → defined-risk broken-wing leaning with flow. Net credit $95, max loss $155 (defined risk). Breakevens $349.05.

Underlying: GOOGL @ ~$354.41 | 2026-10-30 (21 DTE) | Net credit (entry): ~$95 per spread. Use limit orders at the mid or slightly better.

ENTRY: Put on the broken-wing put spread: sell the $350 put, buy the further-OTM $347.5 put with a WIDER gap on the far wing, expiring 2026-10-30 (21 DTE), as one order at a LIMIT of the mid or better — target net credit $95. IV rank 51 is moderate — credit is workable but define risk and don't oversize. The skew removes upside risk while collecting a credit; the downside gap is the residual max loss ($155). | TAKE PROFIT: Buy it back to LOCK IN gains at ~50% of the $95 credit. Also close on TIME: exit around 21 DTE regardless of P&L to sidestep the late-cycle gamma/pin risk near GOOGL's short strike(s) — currently 21 DTE, so plan the exit 0 day(s) out. Above $350 the whole credit is yours — take profits, don't carry the tail into expiration. Breakeven $349.05. | IF TESTED: The risk is a hard drop into the wide wing. When GOOGL tests the $350 short put (delta ~0.30) or loss ≈$190, roll the structure DOWN and OUT ~7–14 days for a credit, or buy an extra long put to square the wing back into a symmetric (fully defined) spread. Treat a close below the $350 put wall as the hard trigger to act (the pin support has failed). dealer gamma is NEGATIVE (vol-amplifying) — moves accelerate here, so defend one trigger EARLIER than usual and don't wait for the strike to go in-the-money; put wall (support) at $350; call wall (resistance) at $350. If price reaches the $347.5 wing, you're at max loss ($155) — take it. EARNINGS: a report (2026-10-28) falls inside this trade — the post-print IV crush helps a seller, but the gap can jump a short strike, so do NOT add size into the event and be ready to take the defined-risk loss if it gaps through. | MAXIMIZE: Holding above $350? Let theta collect the full credit. Once most is banked, roll up toward the money next cycle for a richer credit, or convert into an iron condor by adding a call spread if the flow turns two-sided.
