Methodology →Read from option prices: the at-the-money straddle costs this much, so the market is pricing a move of about that size in either direction by this date. It is an estimate of movement, not a prediction of direction.
Options are pricing a move of about ±7.9% (range 2,874.09–3,367.09) by Nov 20, 2026. ATM straddle: 246.50 @ strike 3,100 · ATM IV: 31.8%.
