The stock has pulled back sharply from its 52-week high of $179.54 to trade around $136, sitting approximately -44% below the 200DMA ($201). This represents a significant mean-reversion candidate but also means the current price is deeply discounted relative to historical averages — critical for CSP margin-of-safety math. IV rank is elevated given the macro/sector sentiment around test-and-measurement names tied to semiconductor and communications capex cycles. The June earnings date (early June) must be avoided for May expiries, but late-June/early-July contracts outside that window may still work. Open interest of 1555 on the $330 P mentioned in the trigger appears to reference a deeply ITM contract — actual liquid strikes will cluster around ATM to OTM at current price levels ($136).
