Technical Indicators
Quick-reference for reading the values below. Indicators combine to confirm a view — no single one is a trade signal on its own.
Trend Indicators
- 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.
Momentum Oscillators
- 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.
Volume & Volatility
- 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 →

AI Analysis
IYE (iShares U.S. Energy ETF) - Comprehensive Analysis Report
Executive Summary
Overall Assessment: BULLISH with 7/10 confidence level
IYE is trading at a 52-week high with strong technical momentum and positive sector sentiment, supported by recent energy sector M&A activity and geopolitical tailwinds. However, the assessment comes with moderate confidence due to the fund's inverse correlation to the broader market (-0.37 beta) and stretched technical readings that suggest near-term consolidation risk.
Key Drivers:
- Energy sector momentum driven by US-Venezuela oil deal and NATO-Russia geopolitical tensions
- Recent M&A activity (Phillips 66/Cenovus, Crescent/Vital) signaling sector confidence
- Fund at 52-week highs with 85% of holdings above 200-day moving averages
- Positive fund flows (+$46M latest month, +$149M over 12 months)
Primary Risks:
- Negative beta (-0.37) creates headwind if broader market rallies (counterintuitive as equity investor)
- Overbought technical readings (RSI 68.51, Stochastic %K 92.62) suggest near-term pullback risk
- Weak trend strength (ADX 22.47) despite strong price advance
- Volume declining sharply (-50.36% rate of change) despite new highs—potential divergence signal
Investment Thesis: IYE reflects a strong structural bid in energy equities driven by geopolitical risk premium and supply-focused narratives. While near-term overbought conditions warrant caution, the fund's positioning (holdings +24.4% above fair value, positive flows) suggests institutional conviction. Monitor for consolidation before resuming uptrend.
Recent News Sentiment Impact: Moderately positive. The most recent headline (52-week high on 2026-10-14) aligns with technical breakout. Earlier coverage of US-Venezuela oil deal (2026-09-01) and NATO-Russia tensions (2025-09-10) appear to have driven positioning into the fund. M&A headlines are neutral to constructive, confirming sector health without dramatic catalysts.
Technical Analysis
Trend Direction
Short-term (1-4 weeks): BULLISH with caution
- Price ($71.39) trading well above all major moving averages: +6.1% above SMA 20 ($67.30), +6.5% above SMA 50 ($67.06), +17.1% above SMA 200 ($60.99)
- EMA 12 ($69.07) above EMA 26 ($67.93), confirming uptrend structure
- Price currently at upper Bollinger Band ($71.63), suggesting potential mean reversion risk near-term
Medium-term (1-3 months): BULLISH
- Clean uptrend from 200-day MA ($60.99) to current price represents +17.1% advance
- 85% of holdings trading above 200-day averages—extremely broad-based strength
- MACD histogram positive (0.66) with MACD (1.14) well above signal line (0.48), confirming bullish momentum
Long-term (3-12 months): BULLISH
- Fund hitting 52-week highs; holdings benefiting from structural energy tailwinds
- Weighted P/E of 18.8 (holdings) represents reasonable valuation for sector with supply constraints
- Holdings +24.4% above modeled fair value suggests market pricing in sustained energy demand
Support/Resistance Levels
| Level | Type | Significance | |-------|------|--------------| | $71.63 | Resistance | Upper Bollinger Band; 52-week high area | | $71.39 | Current | Trading at resistance; minor breakout needed for continuation | | $69.07 | Support | EMA 12; short-term trend anchor | | $67.30 | Support | SMA 20; intermediate-term moving average confluence | | $67.06 | Support | SMA 50; medium-term trend support | | $62.98 | Support | Lower Bollinger Band; represents -11.8% downside | | $60.99 | Support | SMA 200; major long-term support (breakout would be significant) |
Critical Observation: Price touching upper Bollinger Band at exact resistance ($71.63) with narrow band width (12.84) suggests band is tightening—either consolidation or breakout imminent.
Momentum Signals
RSI (14): 68.51 — NEUTRAL reading, approaching overbought
- At 68.51, RSI is in the upper zone but not yet in overbought territory (>70)
- Suggests momentum is strong but not exhausted
- Risk: Any momentum loss could reverse quickly if RSI dips below 65
- Interpretation: Bullish momentum intact, but limited upside room before pullback expected
MACD: Bullish crossover confirmed
- MACD line (1.14) significantly above signal line (0.48)
- Positive histogram (0.66) and rising indicates strengthening momentum
- Zero bearish signal; MACD remains in bullish territory with room to run
- Interpretation: Classic bullish momentum setup; no reversal signal yet
Stochastic Oscillators: SEVERELY OVERBOUGHT
- %K at 92.62, %D at 93.86—both at extreme levels (>80 = overbought)
- Williams %R at -0.42 (near -0, extreme overbought)
- Critical Signal: This represents the strongest overbought reading on the chart
- Stochastic levels this high historically precede 1-2 week consolidation or pullback
- Interpretation: Near-term pullback highly probable; momentum may not sustain through upper resistance
Bollinger Bands: Neutral (Band Squeeze Forming)
- Price tight against upper band; width at 12.84 is neither extremely wide nor squeezed
- Band is contracting slightly, suggesting volatility may be stabilizing
- Interpretation: Setup favors either consolidation or breakout; lack of volume argues for consolidation
Volume Analysis
Volume Trend: DIVERGENCE WARNING
- Volume SMA 20: 946,478
- Volume Rate of Change: -50.36% (extremely negative)
- Critical Issue: Despite hitting 52-week highs, volume is falling sharply
On-Balance Volume (OBV): Positive trajectory
- OBV at 45.68M, cumulative position remains elevated
- OBV trend still upward despite recent volume decline
- Interpretation: Buyers haven't fully given up, but momentum from volume perspective is deteriorating
Institutional Interest Assessment:
- Declining volume during rallies typically indicates institutional buyers are taking profits or reducing exposure
- The -50.36% volume decline while price makes new highs is a classic bearish divergence
- Options activity (call volume 26.0, put volume 0.0) skewed bullishly, but low absolute OI (41 calls) suggests retail-driven activity
- Data Quality Note: Put/Call ratio of 0.00 (zero puts) is unusual and may indicate data sourcing issue or true put avoidance
Verdict: Volume deterioration despite price strength suggests current rally lacks conviction and may be vulnerable to consolidation/pullback.

Spread Scanner GPU
Each spread is ranked by a composite score built in three stages. Full documentation →
Stage 1 — Base Score (GPU scanner)
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.
Stage 2 — Skew Adjustment (±25% cap)
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.
Stage 3 — Technical Overlay (±50% cap, 5 groups)
Group 1 · Directional Bias (±0.25)
- RSI <40 bullish / >60 bearish
- MACD crossover + histogram trend
- Price vs SMA 50 & SMA 200
Group 2 · Momentum (±0.10)
- Stochastic %K <20 / >80
- Williams %R <−80 / >−20
Group 3 · Volatility (up to −0.25 / +0.15)
- Blended ATR + straddle expected-move penalty
- Bollinger Band signal (+ counter-trend penalty)
- BB width — vol contraction boost for ICs
Group 4 · IV Regime (±0.15)
- IV rank ≥ 75 → strong boost for credit spreads
- IV rank < 25 → penalty (selling cheap vol)
Group 5 · Liquidity (penalty up to −0.10)
- 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 →

Dealer Positioning
LOW γ vs HISTORY
Estimated net dealer gamma is at the 6th percentile of this name's own daily history, near the low end of its range. This describes current positioning; it is not a forecast or a trading signal.

Net dealer gamma is an estimate of the aggregate gamma held by options market makers across this name's option chain, weighted by open interest. Dealer positions aren't public, so it uses a standard simplifying assumption: dealers are treated as long the calls and short the puts that are open. Actual dealer books can differ.
Gamma percentile ranks today's estimate against this name's own daily history, from 0% (the lowest reading on record) to 100% (the highest). Raw gamma scales with how much open interest a chain carries, so it isn't comparable across names; the percentile is. The badge marks the bottom 20% as low and the top 20% as high.
Tilts run from −1 to +1 and show how lopsided the estimated dealer exposure is. GEX tilt compares call gamma with put gamma. Vanna tilt describes how the hedge would shift if implied volatility changed, and charm tilt how it would shift with the passage of time.
This card describes estimated positioning and where it sits historically. It is not a forecast of price direction or volatility and not a trading signal. Market-wide view: Dealer positioning screener.
Skew (Wing IV − ATM IV)
DTE:
Wing Δ:
Wing vs ATM
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.
Risk Reversal
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.
Reading them together
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.

Extreme reading.
Historically these have been contrarian — on the small set of observed earnings-day cases, large negative wing-vs-ATM gaps (calls pricing much richer than puts at the same delta) preceded sharp drops in the underlying within 1-12 days. Not financial advice and the dataset is small.
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.

- Calls / Puts — notional value of long call / put exposure where this ticker is the underlying.
- % of Float — holder's reported shares divided by the latest diluted shares outstanding. Sums above 100% indicate large custodian / prime broker positions where the same shares are reported by multiple filers.
- Custodian badge — filers with more than 5,000 holdings are typically broker-dealers / custodians reporting customer-held shares, not active managers.
Each filer is counted once at its latest 13F-HR filing. New filings are ingested on a weekly cadence.

Short Interest & Float
Regulatory short-interest reports publish on a bi-weekly settlement cadence; short-volume is reported daily by the trade-reporting facilities. Float is derived from insider-ownership filings.
Metric definitions
- Short Interest — total shares currently sold short as of the settlement date. Lags real time by ~8 business days.
- SI % of Float — short interest / free float. The key crowding metric.
- Days to Cover — short interest / avg daily volume. How many full trading days it would take shorts to buy back. High DTC + catalyst = squeeze fuel.
- Short Vol Ratio — today's short-sale volume / total volume. Intraday selling pressure proxy (not the same as short interest).
- Free Float — shares available for public trading (total shares minus insider / restricted).
- Float % — free float / shares outstanding. <50% = tightly held, more prone to squeezes.
How to read the signals
- SI % of Float < 5% — typical, no particular signal.
- 5–15% — elevated; watch for catalysts (earnings, guidance, macro).
- 15–30% — heavily shorted; tight-float names in this range have produced notable squeezes historically.
- >30% — extreme; borrow is likely expensive and squeeze risk is material.
- Days to Cover > 5 combined with high SI% amplifies squeeze potential.
History chart
- Trend matters more than level. Rapidly rising short interest often precedes negative catalysts or heavy hedging.
- A sudden drop in SI after a rally may indicate a squeeze in progress.
Short interest is reported mid-month and end-of-month; short volume is daily.
