Obviously you mean upside risk.
But I should have mentioned it before while the market was still open. Maybe you should have considered rolling those July puts into August. Because now you are going to have those July options decay for 3 days. It is a very short month expiration wise and you only have another 9 trading days for your puts. So if you have a chance maybe consider rolling them into August, even if you have to go down a strike to make it a little less expensive.
