Analysis
SKHY (SK hynix Inc. - American Depositary Shares): options flow was balanced/mixed, IV rank 1 (low). Our gamma model reads SKHY in a NEGATIVE-gamma regime (net GEX -2.7M, flip —) — 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 $175P / buy $172.5P) expiring 2026-10-23 (16 DTE) — negative-gamma (trend/gap risk) → defined-risk broken-wing leaning with flow. Net credit $93, max loss $157 (defined risk). Breakevens $174.08.
Setup Instructions
Underlying: SKHY @ ~$179.12 | 2026-10-23 (16 DTE) | Net credit (entry): ~$93 per spread. Use limit orders at the mid or slightly better.
Management Plan
ENTRY: Put on the broken-wing put spread: sell the $175 put, buy the further-OTM $172.5 put with a WIDER gap on the far wing, expiring 2026-10-23 (16 DTE), as one order at a LIMIT of the mid or better — target net credit $93. IV rank 1 is low — premium is thin, so keep size small and lean on a defined-risk structure. The skew removes upside risk while collecting a credit; the downside gap is the residual max loss ($157). | TAKE PROFIT: Buy it back to LOCK IN gains at ~50% of the $93 credit. Also close on TIME: exit around 21 DTE regardless of P&L to sidestep the late-cycle gamma/pin risk near SKHY's short strike(s) — currently 16 DTE, so plan the exit 0 day(s) out. Above $175 the whole credit is yours — take profits, don't carry the tail into expiration. Breakeven $174.08. | IF TESTED: The risk is a hard drop into the wide wing. When SKHY tests the $175 short put (delta ~0.30) or loss ≈$186, 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 $175 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 $175; call wall (resistance) at $180. If price reaches the $172.5 wing, you're at max loss ($157) — take it. | MAXIMIZE: Holding above $175? 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.
