Bullish Case: Known: RHI $31.24 and flat; RHI return surface shows densest likelihood around modest gains (roughly -5% to +10%) across holding years, suggesting mean-reversion. Inferred: backwardation + SPY IV surface stable (mid-teens→low-20s) implies uncertainty may fade. Uncertain: next earnings/macro. If uneventful, low/mid-$30s is plausible.

Bearish Case: Known: put-skew in listed IV (deep puts priced far higher than calls) and AI forecast neutral (-0.47% with correlation -0.1). Inferred from RHI return surface: downside tails persist despite frequent mild moves. Uncertain: whether backwardation reflects real upcoming labor/credit shock. If mid-June inflation/Fed or guidance disappoints, testable drawdown to high-$20s.

Potential Outcomes:

1. 45% Range $30–34 (Known: flat price). Mar-31 “26–28” call underfit; now IV-decay/low conviction may dominate (Inferred from SPY IV steadiness). A bull-call spread vs financed put-spread could align.
2. 25% Upside $34–37 if guidance lifts hiring expectations; falsifiable by closes >35 with IV grinding lower.
3. 20% Downside $27–30 if risk-off lifts put demand; falsifiable by RHI <29.
4. 10% Tail <$27 on staffing/credit shock; check SPY IV >25.
