Expected move estimates the range options are pricing for each expiration, roughly around a one-standard-deviation move from the current spot level.
It helps frame breakout distance, premium-selling width, and whether a proposed strike sits inside or outside what the market is already pricing.
The range is probability framing, not certainty. Stocks can easily finish well inside or well outside the expected move when catalysts hit.
