Mon, Aug 10chain as of Fri, Aug 7

Apple's 0.65 put/call ratio into today's expiration says traders are leaning long, with call open interest stacked at the 315 and 317.5 strikes well above the 312.5 at-the-money line. That signals confidence, though crowded call positioning fades hardest when a move fails to show up. At 14.2% at-the-money implied vol, the options market is pricing a small move in either direction.
