What options price now
- Expected 1-month range The at-the-money straddle for the expiry nearest a month out, as a share of the price: the move, either way, the option market is pricing by then. The range is the price plus and minus that move; the stock ends inside it a little more often than not. Methodology
- $561 – $667 ±8.6% by Nov 27, 2026
- Swings expected vs recent The daily swings the options are priced for (implied volatility) against the swings the stock actually had over the last 20 sessions (realised volatility). Bigger means options charge for more movement than the stock has been delivering; smaller, less. On a contract row, that contract's own implied volatility over the stock's realised. Methodology
- About the same 38.9% priced · 38.0% recent
- Next month vs later At-the-money implied volatility for 8-45 day expiries over 46-90 day ones: whether options price the coming month as choppier or calmer than the two after it. Ahead of a report it usually reads choppier, and the extra comes out once the report is out. Methodology
- About the same
- Crash protection What options that pay off in a fall cost against options that pay off in a rise (the 25-delta skew), compared with this company's own normal - the median of its stored nightly readings, once there are 20 - and with five sessions ago. Protection costs a little more than upside on most shares. More than usual means readers of the chain are paying up to insure against a drop; it does not say which way the stock will go. Methodology
- past week: costs more

- 0.68× +0.06 over the week
- Open interest added The change over five sessions in option positions left open overnight, calls and puts. A rise means positions were added. It cannot say whether they were bought or sold, so more calls is not a vote for a rise: a call is as often sold against shares already held. Methodology

| Contract | Next day: opened, closed or mixed A large option trade on its own is ambiguous: it may have opened a position, closed one, or been one leg of a spread. Open interest is published overnight, so the next morning settles it. Opened: open interest rose by a good share of the volume traded, so positions were added. Closed: it fell, so positions were taken off. Mixed: it barely moved, as when one side opens while the other closes. A dash: the next morning's count is not in yet. None of the three says whether the contracts were bought or sold. Methodology | Volume against open interest The day's contracts traded, divided by the positions already standing. Above 1 the day's trading exceeded every position in existence, which cannot happen without something new — though only tomorrow's open interest proves it opened rather than closed. Methodology | Bid-ask spread The gap between the bid and the ask as a share of the midpoint: what a round trip costs before the position has moved at all. Methodology | Priced vs rest of chain The contract's implied volatility less the at-the-money reading for the same company, in points: how this strike is priced against the rest of the chain. Methodology | Move to break even How far the stock must move by expiry for a buyer at the midpoint to get the premium back: strike plus premium for a call, strike less premium for a put.
