Understanding Implied Volatility

What is IV?

Implied Volatility represents the market's expectation of future price volatility. It's derived from the current option price using the Black-Scholes model.

IV Levels

  • Low: < 20% (stable markets)
  • Normal: 20-40% (typical range)
  • High: 40-60% (uncertain markets)
  • Extreme: > 60% (crisis/events)

Trading Implications

High IV suggests expensive options (good for selling). Low IV suggests cheap options (good for buying). IV often mean-reverts over time.
