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.

953.31,0551,004 current

Options are pricing a move of about ±5.1% (range 953.35–1,055.49) by Sep 18, 2026. ATM straddle: 51.08 @ strike 1,005 · ATM IV: 30.3%.
