How to Use Expected Move
Read the implied range as a volatility map from the latest published close, not as a price target.
What it represents
Expected move estimates the range options are pricing for each expiration, roughly around a one-standard-deviation move from the current spot level.
How traders use it
It helps frame breakout distance, premium-selling width, and whether a proposed strike sits inside or outside what the market is already pricing.
What to remember
The range is probability framing, not certainty. Stocks can easily finish well inside or well outside the expected move when catalysts hit.
Use expected move with structure, liquidity, and catalyst context before treating a range as actionable.
