AMZN options report for 08/14/98 AMZN price: 122.750 Options Study for: AUG put break-even: 118.91 OI = 17626 VOL = 4196 call break-even: 124.51 OI = 24790 VOL = 5104 max. pain: 115.00 R = 0.7 R = 0.8 Options Study for: SEP put break-even: 108.15 OI = 3862 VOL = 1293 call break-even: 137.65 OI = 5021 VOL = 882 max. pain: 124.94 R = 0.8 R = 1.5 Options Study for: OCT put break-even: 102.86 OI = 3749 VOL = 121 call break-even: 138.30 OI = 7872 VOL = 188 max. pain: 92.29 R = 0.5 R = 0.6 Options Study for: JAN put break-even: 94.74 OI = 2490 VOL = 39 call break-even: 149.60 OI = 3723 VOL = 110 max. pain: 99.96 R = 0.7 R = 0.4 net long/short: 1.37 mil. i.v. for AUG = 0.64 i.v. for SEP = 0.86 i.v. for OCT = 0.83 i.v. for JAN = 0.79 Lots of premium being stripped from the Aug. option. Sept. and Oct. prems. held steady. Given today was a down day, the put/call ratios stayed rather neutral. Max. pain on the Aug. options is 115, below today's close. Looks like a reasonable technical target.
