Bullish Case: GDDY at $95.5 after a $100.81→$95.5 weekly pullback fits its mean-reverting character. Helium's density puts peak mass at $93–95 but fat right-wing to $100+, and bullish risk exceeds bearish by 11%. Front IV (147% on 10/3 Helium trace vs ~48% back months) is panic-priced; if post-Q2-call put hedging unwinds, IV crush plus reversion toward $100–105 is the low-conviction base upside.

Bearish Case: Helium AI forecast is -3.06% with -0.6 historical correlation, implying realized downside follow-through. Puts traded 209% over calls, the term structure is backwardated, and low liquidity (4th percentile volume) amplifies gaps. A break of $92 Helium-density mode opens $85; Rosen litigation overhang and macro yield/oil pressure add idiosyncratic tail risk into mid-October expiries.

Potential Outcomes:

1. 35% Range 90–100 with elevated IV through October (backwardation persists, thin volume).
2. 25% Drift to 85–90 as AI-negative signal and put flow dominate; falsified by close >$98 for 3 sessions.
3. 15% Reversion to 100–106 if front IV collapses >15 pts (confirm via 10/10 expiry IV).
4. 15% Fast drop <85 on idiosyncratic news; heavy 85P/70P activity flags hedging.
5. 7% Squeeze >110 on call sweeps; 3% M&A or catalyst >125.
