Prediction based on Rule 16 of the current Pool contract

Based on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Pool Corporation will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0325% per day over the life of the 2026-04-17 option contract. With Pool trading at USD 265.76, that is roughly USD 0.0864 . If you think that the market is fully incorporating Pool's daily price movement you should consider acquiring Pool Corporation options at the current volatility level of 0.52%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.

Open Interest Against 2026-04-17 Pool Option Contracts

Although open interest is a measure utilized in the options markets, it could be used to forecast Pool's spot prices because the number of available contracts in the market changes daily, and new contracts can be created or liquidated at will. Since open interest in Pool's options reflects these daily shifts, investors could use the patterns of these changes to develop long and short-term trading strategies for Pool stock based on available contracts left at the end of a trading day.
Please note that to derive more accurate forecasting about market movement from the current Pool's open interest, investors have to compare it to Pool's spot prices. As Ford's stock price increases, high open interest indicates that money is entering the market, and the market is strongly bullish. Conversely, if the price of Pool is decreasing and there is high open interest, that is a sign that the bearish trend will continue, and investors may react by taking short positions in Pool. So, decreasing or low open interest during a bull market indicates that investors are becoming uncertain of the depth of the bullish trend, and a reversal in sentiment will likely follow.

We provide a combination of tools to recognize potential entry and exit points for Pool using various technical indicators.

It is unlikely that you'll want to use this model directly to predict Pool. Instead, consider using either the moving average model or the more general weighted moving average model with a higher (i.e., greater than 1) number of periods, and possibly a different set of weights.

Have you ever observed a lot of a particular company's price movement is driven by press releases or news about the company that has nothing to do with actual earnings? Usually, hype to individual companies acts as price momentum. If not enough favorable publicity is forthcoming, the Stock price eventually runs out of speed.
