Competitive advantage news for GM, but institutional positioning remains heavily defensive with downside hedges dominating.
Positive partnership news was overwhelmed by sector rotation, mirroring the gap between GM's favorable industry backdrop and its cautious money positioning.

Dark-pool volume — The share of trading done off-exchange, where institutions move size quietly. Well above ~40% means big players are active.
Max pain — The price where the most options expire worthless — positioning often gravitates toward it near expiry.
Call wall / Put floor — Strikes with the heaviest call/put open interest — they often act as short-term resistance and support.
Put/Call ratio — Below ~0.7 leans bullish (more calls); above ~1 leans defensive (more puts).
