Cheap or dear right now
- Fairly priced: IV30 is within 1 point of 20-day realised volatility, so options are priced close to recent movement.
- Over the next 6 days (expiring 2026-11-13) the market prices a one-standard-deviation move of ±3.67%, about 12.59 points.
- Skew 3.9: puts are pricier than calls, so the market is paying up for downside protection.
Pricing across strikes
2026-11-13 expiry (6 days), spot 342.75. The further apart the two lines, the bigger the skew.
Implied volatility by expiry
Near-dated IV above far-dated (inverted) points to short-term event risk; the reverse suggests calm now and more movement later.
Where the open interest sits
Bar height is open interest; max pain is the strike that minimises the total value of expiring options.
2026-11-13 expiry, five strikes either side of the money
IV is the implied volatility at that strike; OI is open interest.

FAQ
Is the expected move a guarantee?
No. It is a one-standard-deviation move implied by at-the-money option prices — the market's current price for movement, not a forecast or a guarantee.
Why is IV rank empty?
IV rank needs a year of IV30 history. Our database records IV30 once a day and shows a value after 20 trading days; until then the page shows collection progress.
What does a positive skew mean?
25-delta puts carry a higher implied volatility than calls at the same expiry, so the market is paying more for downside protection — typical when hedging demand rises.
Can I trade straight off this page?
No. This is volatility and pricing information, not a buy or sell signal.
