The Index Read · What Options Price for the Week
This week’s US macro: Housing Starts, Building Permits, FOMC Minutes, Jobless Claims 4-Week Average, Continuing Jobless Claims. Here’s the weekly move options are pricing across the majors — and the walls that box it in.
● 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.
Walls move every trading day; these are Friday’s close (Aug 14). OptionPilot recomputes them each morning before the open.

Implied = 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).
