Micron is at risk of a significant stock price drop after its June 24 earnings report due to an unusually high number of bullish call options. The elevated options premiums and implied volatility near 120% make both calls and puts expensive, limiting profit potential. A strong resistance level at $1,200 could trigger rapid losses for call holders if the stock fails to break above it. Post-earnings, implied volatility is expected to drop sharply, potentially pushing Micron's stock down 12–21% toward support levels between $900 and $970.
