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 ±11.3% (range 96.27–120.77) by Nov 20, 2026. ATM straddle: 12.25 @ strike 109 · ATM IV: 47.6%.
