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.

1,0661,1581,112 current

Options are pricing a move of about ±4.2% (range 1,065.79–1,158.19) by Sep 18, 2026. ATM straddle: 46.20 @ strike 1,110 · ATM IV: 24.7%.
