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 ±4.4% (range 326.91–356.66) by Sep 18, 2026. ATM straddle: 14.88 @ strike 342.5 · ATM IV: 26.6%.
