=== COMMENTS SUMMARY ===
The top comments provide potential explanations for the sudden move, including short covering and a specific geopolitical development regarding Iran and Oman drafting a protocol for traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. Other commenters are dismissive, attributing the move to market mechanics (e.g., "market makers fucking up puts") or humorously rejecting the premise of seeking explanations for every intraday fluctuation. The community sentiment is largely skeptical of finding a single, clear reason for short-term volatility.
