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 ±7.2% (range 38.47–44.41) by Sep 18, 2026. ATM straddle: 2.98 @ strike 41 · ATM IV: 42.8%.
