Bullish Case: DOCU's +38.7% 90-day run reflects IAM/PDF Editor momentum (Nov 2 launch) and AI contract-intelligence traction. Market IV (~42-54%) sits well above Helium's short-dated trace (20-28%), so near-term premium is rich. Helium density peaks at $71-72 right at spot $70.97, and bullish risk exceeds bearish by 37% across tenors — mean-reverting price action plus product cadence supports a hold near $70 with upside on Nov earnings.

Bearish Case: Puts out-trade calls 81% and short-dated 67-72P skew is fat while spot is +14% in 60 days after a parabolic run — classic post-pop hedging. Analysts still rate the beat non-durable; Ironclad/Spellbook AI agents attack the same workflow; P/B of 83x leaves no room for a growth miss. Term structure flat-to-contangoed with Dec IV 42-50% prices a real event gap down.

Potential Outcomes: 1) Range $66-75 (35%) — Helium density mass at $71-72; falsifiable if 10/24 IV (20%) stays low and spot holds.
2) Giveback -10-15% to $60-64 (25%) — mirrors Apr/Jul fades; watch 11/20 65P volume.
3) Earnings pop +10% to $78+ (18%) — Dec 130C volume signals convexity demand.
4) Slow drift -5% (12%).
5) AI-disruption de-rate >-20% (7%).
6) M&A bid (3%).
