Understanding High IV
IV30 is the 30-day implied volatility, reflecting the market's expectation of price movement over the next month.
IV Rank shows where current IV sits relative to its 52-week range. 70% means IV is higher than 70% of readings this year.
IV/HV Ratio compares implied to historical volatility. Above 1.2x suggests options are "expensive" relative to actual stock movement.
Disclaimer: High IV indicates expensive option premiums, not guaranteed profits. Premium selling strategies carry significant risk. Always conduct your own research before trading.
