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.

56.7365.9761.35 current

Options are pricing a move of about ±7.5% (range 56.73–65.97) by Sep 18, 2026. ATM straddle: 4.62 @ strike 61 · ATM IV: 44.8%.
