Expected move — Sep 18, 2026 (16 days)
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 ±3.5% (range 115.59–124.09) by Sep 18, 2026. ATM straddle: 4.25 @ strike 120 · ATM IV: 21.1%.
