Gated Score

78

Research-backed candidate score

This score is only calculated after theme evidence, causal support, and options quality checks pass.

Watch ticker preference adds a light research priority after gates pass.

Causal Chain

  1. AI data-center demand outruns grid interconnection capacity (years-long queues)
  2. Bitcoin miners already hold energized sites: interconnections, substations, megawatts
  3. Hyperscalers lease or acquire that capacity (AI-hosting conversion deals)
  4. Converted miners reprice from crypto multiples toward data-center-infrastructure multiples

Trade Structure

Entry trigger: Confirm IREN holds above short-term support while theme and sector participation remain intact.

Suggested option entry: $1.36-$1.60 net debit

Target: First target is a move toward the current 29.1% expected move; reassess if IV expands sharply.

Invalidation: IREN breaks trend support or the theme evidence weakens materially.

Max loss: Defined by spread width or premium paid; re-price with live chain before any real entry.
