$INTC options structure looking relatively strong right now.
Short-term options money is clearly playing defense, but medium-to-long-term bets are bullish. Big orders aren't one-sided bearish — protective hedges + longer-dated calls coexist.
Medium/long-term players still loading 95/100/110 Calls, betting $INTC has room for recovery or re-rating down the line. 140 Call OI ticking up, plus some 7/31 155 Call block trades showed up.
Intraday Delta & Vega flow kept dropping — combo of spot selling + option hedging pressure + short-term protection driving price down.
NOPE bounced a bit before close, so the most panicked selling eased off. But no real reversal signal yet.
125-126 is first recovery zone. Above 130, bulls take control.
