⚠️ Key Risks
🟢 Strong beat or guidance → upside gap

⚫ IV Crush → premium collapse despite small drop

🟠 Broader tech strength could override stock-specific weakness

🔵 Put spread resistance near $84–$85 could slow downside

🧠 Final Take
DOCU is overextended into earnings, with elevated volatility and max pain $5 below spot. Most models lean moderately bearish, and the $87 put at $1.77 offers a favorable mix of premium, liquidity, and setup alignment. Risk/reward justifies taking the shot here—tight risk, high upside potential.
