Open interest on those leaps in only 84, although 1060 traded today.

I think that means that someone was buying back puts they had previously sold naked. Or to put it another way, the seller was disposing of puts previously bought (not selling naked), and the buyer was buying puts s/he previously sold naked.

Maybe they were sold when ASND was at 32 and this is profit-taking.

Any other interpretations of the open interest of only 84 ?
