Risk Warning

The price of an option is influenced by various factors, including the current price of the underlying asset, the strike price, time to expiration, and implied volatility.

Implied volatility reflects the market's expectation of the option's volatility over a certain period in the future. It is derived inversely from the BS pricing model of options and is generally considered an indicator of market sentiment. When investors anticipate greater volatility, they may be more willing to pay higher prices for options to hedge risks, resulting in higher implied volatility.

Traders and investors use implied volatility to assessOption priceattractiveness, identify potential mispricings, and manage risk exposure.
