Risks

  • High volume in specific strikes relative to open interest - for example, 25,110 contracts traded in the July 17, 2026 $16 call versus an open interest of 2,401 - indicates substantial turnover in those strikes during the measured period but does not reveal net long or short positioning.
  • Concentration of activity in call instruments - with 81,216 call contracts versus 4,953 puts - may reflect directional focus within the options market for Coupang during the session, but the data do not explain the motivations behind trades.
  • The reported figures are a snapshot through 2 p.m. New York time on Monday and therefore do not capture trading that occurred after that timestamp; the full-day picture may differ.
