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: VEM
Executive Summary
Overall Assessment: BEARISH (Confidence Level: 7/10)
Key Drivers: High volatility, strong bearish momentum signals, and a recent price drop below the lower Bollinger Band.
Primary Risks: Bearish momentum could continue if the stock fails to recover above the lower Bollinger Band. High volatility also increases the risk of unexpected price movements.
Investment Thesis: VEM's recent price decline has triggered bearish momentum signals, indicating a potential short-term downtrend. However, the stock's high beta and volatile nature make it challenging to predict its future direction.
Recent News Sentiment Impact: No recent news headlines available, which reduces the impact of news sentiment on this analysis.
Technical Analysis
Trend Direction:
- Short-term (1-4 weeks): BEARISH
- Medium-term (1-3 months): NEUTRAL
- Long-term (3-12 months): BULLISH ( pending price recovery above the lower Bollinger Band)
Support/Resistance Levels:
- Lower Bollinger Band: $26.03 (key support level)
- Upper Bollinger Band: $29.15 (key resistance level)

News & Sentiment Analysis
Recent Headlines Summary: No recent news headlines available.
Sentiment Assessment: Neutral due to the lack of recent news sentiment.
Catalyst Identification: No near-term earnings or major events announced.
Market Narrative: The absence of recent news highlights the importance of technical analysis in this case, as the stock's price action and momentum signals take center stage.
Risk & Volatility Assessment
Beta Interpretation: High risk relative to the market, with a beta value of 1.71.
Volatility Regime: High volatility regime, with a historical volatility level of 36.2% (HV20).
Options Market Signals:
- IV rank: N/A
- Put/call ratios: N/A
- Unusual activity: N/A
Downside Protection: Support levels and risk management considerations are crucial due to the stock's high beta and volatile nature.
Market Context & Positioning
Sector Performance: VEM's performance is weak relative to its sector peers, indicating potential sector rotation risks.
Institutional Activity: Decreasing volume suggests lower institutional interest and potential selling pressure.
Correlation Analysis: The stock has a strong correlation with the market (R-squared = 0.84), making it more susceptible to market volatility.
Relative Valuation: VEM's relative valuation is poor, indicating a potentially overvalued position within its trading range.
Key Levels & Action Items
Critical Price Levels:
- Lower Bollinger Band: $26.03 (key support level)
- Upper Bollinger Band: $29.15 (key resistance level)
Breakout/Breakdown Levels: The stock's recent price drop below the lower Bollinger Band is a key breakdown level.
Time-Sensitive Catalysts: No near-term earnings or major events announced.
Risk Management: Consider using stop-loss levels around $25.50 and position sizing considerations to manage risk.
By analyzing VEM's technical indicators, news sentiment, and market context, it becomes clear that the stock is in a bearish momentum phase, with high volatility and decreasing volume. While there are no recent news headlines available, the absence of news highlights the importance of technical analysis in this case. As a result, investors should exercise caution and consider risk management strategies to protect their positions.
VEM 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.
Calendars: the long leg is valued at the short leg’s expiration (Black-Scholes at its current IV) across the range of prices the short leg’s IV implies, giving the best-case profit (R/R = that over the debit) and P(profit).
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 →
Scanning bull put, bear call, iron condor and calendar spreads…
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.
