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.

1,8942,1242,009 current

Options are pricing a move of about ±5.7% (range 1,894.10–2,123.90) by Sep 18, 2026. ATM straddle: 114.90 @ strike 2,010 · ATM IV: 34.1%.
