Typical Patterns
| Pattern | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| High price + high score (deep green/pink ITM cells) | Core liquidity zones — often hedging activity from institutions. |
| Low price + mid score | OTM speculative or cheap optionality with meaningful flow. |
| Sudden score spike at low price | Speculative positioning (tail bets, upside or downside plays). |
| Flat / pale row | Little to no activity at that expiry. |
