What it means: Money signals show a balanced, low-pressure setup: put-call positioning is defensive (0.63 ratio favors downside hedges), but squeeze pressure is minimal (18/100), and the stock is trading just below the max-pain level of $43.50, suggesting institutional positioning is neither aggressively long nor short.

How to read these numbers
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).
