Implied volatility (IV) is an estimate of a stock's price change during the year. It reflects investors' expectations about the extent of future price fluctuations, and is a key factor in option pricing. The implied volatility of stocks is high, which indicates that market sentiment is extreme. Higher price fluctuations mean greater uncertainty; conversely, low volatility indicates that the market expects less price fluctuations and less uncertainty.

III. Risk Reminder
An option is a contract that gives a holder the right, but no obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a fixed price on or at any time prior to that date. The price of an option is affected by a number of factors, including the underlying asset's current price, exercise price, expiration time, and implied volatility.
The implied volatility reflects the market's expectations for options to fluctuate over a period of time to come. It is data inverted by the options BS pricing model, and is generally viewed as an indicator of market sentiment. When investors anticipate greater volatility, they may be more willing to pay higher options to help hedge risks, leading to higher implied volatility.
Traders and investors use implied volatility to assess the appeal of option prices, identify potential mispricing, and manage risk exposure.
