The biggest positions are the $140,000-call expiring Sept. 26 and the $120,000-call expiring June 27. These strike prices suggest confident—if aggressive—speculation. On the flip side, the largest put in play is the $85,000 strike for June 27, pointing to some cautious downside protection in the near term.
