Quick-reference for reading the values below. Indicators combine to confirm a view — no single one is a trade signal on its own.
- SMA 20 / 50 / 200 — price above = uptrend, below = downtrend. SMA 50 crossing SMA 200 is the golden/death cross.
- EMA 12 / 26 — faster-reacting averages; 12 above 26 is short-term bullish.
- MACD — bullish when MACD > signal (green badge), bearish when below. Divergence from price often precedes reversals.
- ADX (14) — trend strength regardless of direction. <20 range, 20–25 weak trend, 25–50 trend, >50 strong trend.
- +DI / −DI — +DI > −DI favors bulls; the reverse favors bears. Read alongside ADX.
- RSI (14) — <30 oversold, >70 overbought. 40–60 is neutral; trending names can stay extreme.
- Stochastic %K / %D — <20 oversold, >80 overbought. %K crossing %D is an early momentum signal.
- Williams %R — inverted scale: <−80 oversold, >−20 overbought.
Oscillators work best in range-bound markets; in strong trends they give premature reversal signals.
- Bollinger Bands — price at upper band = overbought, lower = oversold. Narrow bands (squeeze) often precede expansion.
- OBV — cumulative volume; rising OBV confirms uptrend, falling OBV confirms downtrend. Divergence from price is a warning.
- Vol SMA 20 / Vol ROC — today's volume vs. 20-day average. Positive ROC with price move = conviction.
- ATR / True Range — average daily $ move; sizing and stop-loss reference.
- HV 20 / 30 / 60 — realized (historical) volatility. Compare to IV on the options cards: IV > HV = rich premium.
Confluence matters: trend + momentum + volume agreeing carries far more weight than any single indicator. For how these feed the spread scanner score, see the algorithm docs →

Volume & Volatility
Data Summary
LLM Stock Analysis Report: HIMU
Executive Summary
Overall Assessment: NEUTRAL (Confidence Level: 6/10)
Key Drivers: Strong technical signals, low volatility, and recent oversold conditions.
Primary Risks: Limited news flow, potential for mean reversion from extreme oversold levels.
Investment Thesis: HIMU is a relatively stable stock with a strong trend support. The current oversold condition presents an attractive entry point, but caution is advised due to the lack of news catalysts and limited institutional interest.
Recent News Sentiment Impact: No recent news available, which reduces the potential for significant price movements in the near term.
Technical Analysis
Trend Direction: Medium-term bearish trend (1-3 months), with a short-term neutral bias (1-4 weeks).
Support/Resistance Levels:
- SMA 20 ($48.20): key support level
- SMA 50 ($48.73): medium-term resistance
- Upper Bollinger Band ($48.96): near-term resistance
Momentum Signals:
- RSI (14) interpretation: oversold (<30), potential buy signal
- MACD: bearish crossover, indicating a continuation of the downtrend
- Bollinger Bands position: neutral, with price touching the lower band
Volume Analysis: Volume trends suggest a lack of institutional interest and limited participation.
News & Sentiment Analysis
Recent Headlines Summary: No recent news available.
Sentiment Assessment: Neutral (no clear sentiment bias).
Catalyst Identification: None apparent in the near term, but earnings data may provide a catalyst in the future.
Market Narrative: The lack of news flow and limited institutional interest create a market narrative that is neutral to slightly bearish.
Risk & Volatility Assessment
Beta Interpretation: Low risk relative to the market (beta <0.8).
Volatility Regime: Low volatility, with stock movements less than those in the broader market.
Options Market Signals: No options data available.
Downside Protection: Support levels and risk management considerations are essential due to the potential for mean reversion from extreme oversold conditions.
Market Context & Positioning
Sector Performance: HIMU is outperforming its sector peers, which could lead to continued strength in the medium term.
Institutional Activity: Limited institutional interest is evident, which may reduce the potential for significant price movements in the near term.
Correlation Analysis: HIMU has a relatively low correlation with the broader market (R-squared <0.5), indicating a degree of independence.
Relative Valuation: HIMU is trading within its historical range, but the current oversold condition presents an attractive entry point.
Key Levels & Action Items
Critical Price Levels:
- SMA 20 ($48.20): key support level
- Upper Bollinger Band ($48.96): near-term resistance
Breakout/Breakdown Levels: None apparent in the near term, but earnings data may provide a catalyst for future price movements.
Time-Sensitive Catalysts: Earnings data (future) and potential mean reversion from extreme oversold levels (short-term).
Risk Management: Stop-loss levels and position sizing considerations are essential due to the potential for mean reversion from extreme oversold conditions.
HIMU Options Activity & IV Rank
Each spread is ranked by a composite score built in three stages. Full documentation →
score = P(profit) × (credit / spread_width)
P(profit) from short leg delta (1 − |delta|), penalised above 85%. Credit uses mid-price to handle illiquid chains fairly.
RR and BF (30-delta) from the persisted per-symbol skew snapshot — wing strikes picked by real greeks.delta, not a moneyness proxy. Put skew boosts bull puts, penalises bear calls. High butterfly boosts iron condors. Calendars are skew-neutral.
- RSI <40 bullish / >60 bearish
- MACD crossover + histogram trend
- Price vs SMA 50 & SMA 200
- Stochastic %K <20 / >80
- Williams %R <−80 / >−20
- Blended ATR + straddle expected-move penalty
- Bollinger Band signal (+ counter-trend penalty)
- BB width — vol contraction boost for ICs
- IV rank ≥ 75 → strong boost for credit spreads
- IV rank < 25 → penalty (selling cheap vol)
- Min open interest across all legs
- OI < 100 → −0.10 · OI < 500 → −0.05
score = base_score × skew_multiplier × tech_multiplier
Both multipliers are shown per spread. Beta is informational only — ATR already captures realized vol. Full algorithm documentation →

IV(put wing) − IV(ATM), in vol pointsHow much the OTM put trades above (or below) the at-the-money strike. Measures the height of the put-side tail relative to ATM — i.e. how expensive crash insurance is on this name.
- Positive (typical) — wing IV > ATM IV. Standard equity put skew: portfolios bid up crash protection, so OTM puts trade richer than ATM.
- Near zero or negative (unusual) — wing IV ≤ ATM IV. Flat or inverted put side. Common when there's no fear demand, in tightly mean-reverting names, or right after an earnings catalyst clears.
- Percentile vs own 3-yr history: high = wings rich (good time to sell wing premium); low = wings cheap (good time to buy protection).
- Not directional — high or low wings don't predict up or down moves. It's a price tag on tail insurance, not a forecast.
IV(call wing) − IV(put wing), equal delta on each sideWhich side of the smile is the market paying up for? Measures the tilt of the surface — call skew vs put skew at matched deltas.
- Negative (typical) — puts richer than calls. Standard equity behavior: hedging demand makes puts carry a premium. Most large-caps sit in the −1 to −5 vol-point range.
- Strongly negative (< −5 pts) — heavy downside hedging, elevated fear, or an upcoming catalyst (earnings, FDA, macro event). Worth flagging.
- Positive — calls richer than puts. Unusual for equities; signals bullish momentum, short-squeeze positioning, or takeover/M&A speculation.
- Near zero — symmetric surface. Market sees roughly equal up/down risk. Rare for large-caps; more common in commodities and FX.
Wing-vs-ATM tells you how expensive the tails are. Risk Reversal tells you which side is favored. Combined:
- High wing percentile + deeply negative RR → strong put bid; stress or major event priced in. Owning protection costs a premium; selling put premium is dangerous.
- Low wing percentile + near-zero RR → complacency; insurance cheap and balanced. Good environment to add cheap downside hedges.
- Positive RR + elevated wings → call-side fear-of-missing-out; common in squeeze setups. Upside calls expensive, downside puts not bid.
Percentile is the rank of today's reading within ~3 years of this symbol's own history. High percentile = wings are rich relative to history; not a directional signal. Skew is read off the chain in real time, not from CBOE SKEW.
