Earnings Implied Moves: Aug 10–14, 2026 — What Options Priced, and What Happened

Every US name reporting that week — the implied move vs. its historical earnings move — plus the SPY/QQQ/IWM expected ranges and walls. Anchored to the prior Friday’s close (Aug 7, 2026).

The Index Read · What Options Price for the Week

That week’s US macro: Existing Home Sales, NFIB Business Optimism Index, Inflation Rate MoM, Inflation Rate YoY, Core Inflation Rate YoY. Here’s the weekly move options are pricing across the majors — and the walls that box it in.

How to read the walls

● Put wall — support. Heavy put positioning tends to act as a floor.

● Hedge wall — the pivot. Above it moves dampen (range-bound); below it they accelerate.

● Call wall — resistance. Heavy call positioning tends to cap the upside. More on call, put and hedge walls.

Walls move every trading day; these are Friday’s close (Aug 7). OptionPilot recomputes them each morning before the open.

Implied move = live ATM straddle for the expiry covering the report. Actual move = the stock’s own 1-day earnings reaction over its last reported quarters — avg is typical, max the biggest. “What happened” = the realized move this week. “pre/post-mkt” = reports before the open / after the close. “Can run more” = options price less than history; “rich” = more; “outsized premium” = far above (usually a special catalyst).

Weekly options-market digest

Sundays. What moved this week, what catalysts and earnings drive next week, and which 5-pillar setups stand out.

Educational, not investment advice. Options involve risk. Implied moves reflect live at-the-money straddle prices; historical moves are averages of past reported quarters and are not a forecast.
