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 ±15.9% (range 33.69–46.45) by Nov 20, 2026. ATM straddle: 6.38 @ strike 40 · ATM IV: 64.4%.
