Expected move — Sep 18, 2026 (15 days)
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 ±6.4% (range 82.40–93.70) by Sep 18, 2026. ATM straddle: 5.65 @ strike 88 · ATM IV: 36.8%.
