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 (Sep 4). 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. “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).
