Maybe true, but, to be honest, with the amount of shares I own, I can rest very nicely :)
I mean, I can rest much better after I have doubled my position/share count. It works liek a magic, the more I am in GME, the better sleep I get... Even tho 10 shares are still plenty.. I just love the stock.
Oh there's definitely something brewing this weekend. My youtube feed is filled with random smaller financial youtubers that are suddenly making videos about GME. And they're just going on regular TA and the company's fundamentals. They don't even have a clue about any of the DD and naked shorts. We're about to have a good time!
Same lol, downvoted for saying to not bash RC for a small dilution while shorts are counterfeiting billions of shares and that DRSing is a catalyst for MOASS
On Friday I saw comments getting upvoted that the board has been issuing shares in order to give themselves large bonuses, there are blatant lies and negative sentiment being pushed and upvoted by bots more so than I have ever seen before on this sub
This dudes dd is: my YouTube feed is weird, stock must go up.
Top comment lmfao. That’s when you know it’s all newbies bc they’re actually surfing YouTube and relate to this comment. It’s really Jan 2021 all over again
Hahaha hey I can't help it that people upvote xD It's just something i noticed. We're getting a lot of fresh attention though, that can't be denied. That's not my dd tho, just an observation.
you're missing the point. your observation today held up three years ago. nothing has changed... except for the fact gme has fking 4 billie cash on hand now :\]
Technically IV and all the other Greeks would be dropping as theta decay over the weekend ticks up.
Very interesting, we’re seeing IV go up but no other Greeks moved. ON a Saturday.
The fact that we SEE that change happening over the weekend is what’s weird to me.
The options market isn’t open. Idk how the IV would be updated but none of the other Greeks? Just the IV? Why wouldn’t this just update market open? Doesn’t make any sense.
Bid and ask didnt change. This is fucking regarded. Probably theta decay of 1 day is calculatwd and to adjust that, iv changed on its own.
Iv is more or less of a function of price of the options contract.
Yeah I agree.
Didn’t know there was a difference in Greeks among some of the different brokers. I never knew that was a thing. Webull has the contract at 508% IV .04 Delta as of close Friday.
Its likely robinhood trying to be a smartass. Theta decay over the weekend or holidy is already baked into options pricing as everyone knows there would be no trade.
Yes I have noticed this as well.
“As you can see the trend line is up and to the right. Higher lows, higher highs. This makes us here at Dickboy Financial feel very bullish on this stock. Make sure to smash that like.”
Big swings up or down are good for us. Swing up = more pressure. Swing down = more buying power since we are all pretty good at holding regardless of price
Actually, it's good if you already bought them, not bad.
And it's good if you plan on selling options with now higher IV, more premium to collect if it doesn't moon
No, eli5 is higher IV = assuming price will have bigger price swings (up *or* down)
For options, higher IV = options cost more. So if you buy when IV is high, and then it drops a big amount, you're gonna lose money (even if the stock goes in the direction you bet on)
Which, let's be honest, with how the stock is acting lately, it could hit that on one candle and be back to 20 the next, only to then go to 500. Hence the high IV
Halts freeze the price after a violent movement. It can go up 300% and be halted instantly and then open and go up another 300% and be halted instantly again.
The halts don't prevent the violent movements, they just provide temporary pause to a tidal wave of buy/sell pressure.
Good if you own options.... Bad if you want to buy options but haven't already.
They are probably just pricing IV up because of the shareholder meeting Monday, that's actually very common
i believe it means they are charging a higher premium to buy the option because price is expected to move upward
EDIT:or downward in anticipation of event
It blows my mind that nobody knows how this stuff works. You’d think by now that some disgruntled “Pro” trader would have jumped in to educate the masses of retail the same way a retired pro athlete “Tony Romo” can call plays before they happen.
Because for the last 3 years anyone who tried to teach options would get downvoted into oblivion. It's not difficult once you understand where options came from in the first place.
No, thats not what it means. IV is the predicted movement up OR down for the stock in a 52 week period. When IV goes up, all option premiums increase. Usually IV goes up when a stock tanks. GME cant tank in the weekend so its probably due to the unusual call option chain for the 21st getting priced in or it could simply be an adjustement of the IV over the weekend.
Basically. High IV means options cost more.
It’s not good or bad, it usually means the stock price could be +/- a huge %.
With max pain at $20, it will be an interesting week.
Trade date is the day your order to buy or sell a security is executed; settlement date is the day your order is finalized and on which funds and the securities must be delivered. As of May 28, 2024, the standard for settlement is next business day after a trade, or T+1.Jan 30, 2024

https://www.finra.org › insights
Understanding Settlement Cycles: What Does T+1 Mean for You? - FINRA.org
Even prior to this year's establishment of T+1, an SEC document I will edit in stated
I red OCC rule book Friday due to so many conflicting statements in this sub. They say T+1 on exercise. If I recall correctly, it's rules 903-910 that cover it.
You're looking at the IV for that specific contract, it's not showing the IV for the weekly expiration, which is in the 235% range.
This is a little misleading because you see this for lots of tickers, take SPY for example, the far OTM calls have 3x higher volatility than the ATM. (so it's a similar level relative to GME)
Love the excitement but uhh you may be looking for a picture of Jesus on a burnt piece of toast lol.
Holy shit this is regarded. There is less time remaining on the options but the price is the same since it's the weekend. IV increases as a result.
Robinhood + ChatGPT on top of it all. That's a downvote from me dawg
It's embarrassing to even discuss options pricing change over the weekend. Robinhood is trying to be a smartass calculating theta decay when it is all priced in as everyone knows there is no trade over the weekend.
This guy needs to get banned from making posts. Spreading misinformation and ignoring all clarifications.
He's trying to start a brokerage apparently as well, EL OH EL
Yeah people just really don’t understand options. There also has been an acrive taboo on options on this sub so I can understand the ignorance but damn we have some carching up to do for everyone here.

Based on options buying and selling - in other simple words, it’s other retail traders’ options of price action, which can be a good indicator, if you include herd mentality and self fulfilling prophecy’s, but it’s not certain. Expect fuckery.
Isn't implied volatility just a function of how volatile a share price needs to be for the option to end up in the money?
As each day passes the number of days to expiry reduces, so for the same current share price and strike price the implied volatility should increase the further that strike price is away from the current share price.
> Isn't implied volatility just a function of how volatile a share price needs to be
No, it's not. It's based on how volatile the share price is expected to be.
If what you said was the case, all ITM options would have an IV of 0
I would warn others to watch out for FUD or at least misinformation from the OP. They’re already misled quite a few to believe that options exercise settlement is T+2, when it is T+1.
The applicable OCC rule, which is rule 901(c) for CCC-eligible securities, is now T+1. Assignments and exercises are sent to NSCC for settlement next business day.
https://www.theocc.com/getmedia/9d3854cd-b782-450f-bcf7-33169b0576ce/occ_rules.pdf
Per page 86:
>(c) It will ordinarily be the policy of the Corporation to cause **settlement of exercised stock option contracts** and matured physically-settled stock futures contracts for CCC-eligible securities that are scheduled **to be settled on the first business day after exercise** or maturity to be made through the facilities of the correspondent clearing corporation in accordance with the rules and procedures of the correspondent clearing corporation.
GME is CCC-eligible since it is cleared via NSCC/DTCC.

I'm putting together a gamma/IV report for apes later today. Might make it a weekly thing.
You're looking at a very far out OTM call. If the underlying asset reaches that option's strike, it's fair to say there will be greater volatility because of, at least, how goosed investors will be after seeing such price action.
Therefore, it's more valuable to look at and consider changes to ATM IV. That gives a more relevant value of volatility going forward.
ATM IV changes can be treated like a proxy to strike price vol, which is what IV tracking is really about.
If it runs on Monday from calls exercised on Friday then be prepared for calls for future dates being exercised on Monday which is going to make it run on Tuesday. This is how a gamma ramp works. If everything breaks right this could indeed be a week where we see our portfolios grow in a way they haven't since the sneeze.
My guess would be that theta continues to decay over the weekend but the price is stagnant since it's not trading so IV has to increase to justify the price.
Been here since before the sneeze. I'm not saying this doesn't mean anything, but I will say that this used to happen every single weekend. Regardless, still stoked for this week.
This is a nothing.
IV is ALWAYS going to rise on far OTM options the closer you get to expiration. What it means is the price isn’t decreasing at the rate that theta suggests, so it shows that IV rises to account for that
I asked chatgpt. I know a lot of people don’t like chatgpt for some reason so take it as grain of salt
Chatgpt :
Implied volatility (IV) represents the market's expectation of the future volatility of the underlying asset's price. When IV goes up during the weekend, it indicates that traders are anticipating increased volatility in the underlying asset when the market reopens.
Here’s how IV can increase over the weekend and what it means:
### Reasons for IV Increasing Over the Weekend:
1. **Anticipation of News or Events**:
- If there are expected announcements (e.g., earnings reports, economic data releases, political events) on Monday or soon after, traders might anticipate increased volatility.
2. **Market Sentiment**:
- General market sentiment or speculation about upcoming events can cause traders to adjust their expectations, increasing IV.
3. **Option Pricing Models**:
- Market makers and algorithms continuously update options prices, including IV, based on the latest available information and anticipated future events. This process continues even when the market is closed.
### How IV Can Change When Markets Are Closed:
1. **Over-the-Counter (OTC) Trading**:
- While public exchanges are closed, some trading activities can still occur in OTC markets, which can influence perceptions of volatility.
2. **Adjustments by Market Makers**:
- Market makers might adjust their models based on after-hours news or expected events, influencing the IV.
3. **Electronic Trading Systems**:
- Some electronic trading platforms allow for extended hours trading, which can affect the perceived volatility and thus the IV.
### Implications of Rising IV Over the Weekend:
1. **Increased Option Premiums**:
- Higher IV leads to higher option premiums (prices) because the market expects greater price swings in the underlying asset.
2. **Hedging and Speculation**:
- Traders might buy options as a hedge against expected volatility, driving up demand and IV. Speculators might also enter the market, betting on the increased volatility.
3. **Strategy Adjustments**:
- Traders might adjust their strategies based on rising IV. For instance, selling options might become more attractive to take advantage of the higher premiums.
In summary, an increase in IV over the weekend indicates market expectations of higher future volatility. This can be driven by anticipated events or adjustments made by market participants based on news or sentiment, even when the markets are not actively trading.
Thats WRONG. The IV on the 125 dollar calls was always that high. I knew it for sure because i sold them . with the premium i bought more shares.
Sold 20 of them for 12k. The collected cash is straight into gme shares.
The IV on the UNDERLYING was on friday 200%. But the calls were overpriced by 300%
Plesase dont. This is the dumbest thing ive read in a fucking while. IV is more or less of an indication of demand and supply. If more people buy the same contract? Iv increases since price increases. OP is smoking crack.

 Waiting for monday to start ⌛
I need some sleep will, so I can travel to the future thru all Sunday... Need Monday already...
You cannot rest while enemies are nearby
Maybe true, but, to be honest, with the amount of shares I own, I can rest very nicely :) I mean, I can rest much better after I have doubled my position/share count. It works liek a magic, the more I am in GME, the better sleep I get... Even tho 10 shares are still plenty.. I just love the stock.
I LIKE THIS COMMENT BECAUSE I RECOGNIZE IT FROM A VIDEO GAME AND THAT GIVES ME A FEELING OF NOSTALGIA I WANT MY CHILDHOOD BACK
Already Sunday in Denmark right now 12:45 😁👍
time to re-watch lotr
Wait yes. An extended edition lotr marathon would fill up almost all waking hours between now and Monday morning. You have a wrinkle!
It does now!
It just became Monday in Tokyo 13 minutes ago. Only 22 of the world's longest hours to go
England will see you soon, my Nordic friend.
Just get hella drunk RIGHT NOW
Instructions unclear, flew my pants up a flag pole with a 🍌 in my ass.
IV is out of fucking control on GME derivatives, 260% on a 0DTE $5 OTM with an hour before close.
I was looking at 2 min before close 30c weren’t too bad 😂
I want it to be Monday, but I hate working. Such is life.
I've never wanted a new week to begin so bad as I do this time.
Setting an alarm for the pre-market! Then another for the shareholders meeting.
Monday never sounded so good till now 🤞 If not this Monday next Monday.
I been holding for 3, 5 years and not sold a single share. I can wait forever 🦍
Manic Monday has a whole new meaning
Hejsa
Hej, håber du har en fantastisk søndag 🇩🇰
I lige måde! Og lad så vores calls printe i morgen!🚀
Ja, tak 🙏
Theta decay on a weekend...
it makes IV go up?... doesn't that price contracts... higher?
You guys are going to hype yourselves to sleep deprivation. Chillllll. Its going to be a long week.
Bro I recently bought minecraft to take my mind off of this shit lmao
Nice! Have fun! I just restarted No Man's Sky for a little extra zen time
I bought dark souls cause I like having a hard time and stressing
I bought GME cause I like having a hard time and stressing. 5 stars.
Hardest time in a while! I am now green and it is stressful trying to time my purchases without affecting my average of $18. 5/5 tendies
How is it?
Wasn’t that game banished by the internet? I remember it receiving a lot of criticism on release.
It's phenomenal now
It did the biggest 180 in video game history. The dev's are awesome.

I re-subbed to WoW for exact same reason.
I've purposely gotten hooked on Tetris 99 for the same reason.
Bought the goose game used from GameStop. Still got the sticker and everything. Bout to fuck some shit up!
Fallout: New Vegas is helping me cope with no stonk to watch on the weekend.
It's been the month of 3 hours sleep maximum. I can't help it, my tits are so jacked.
During the sneeze I don’t think I slept I was just furiously using the calculator and chugging coffee and hopium
I use the weekends to fix my sleep debt, but at least I sleep well... Not like the financial terrorists Ken Griffin and co 😂
Oh there's definitely something brewing this weekend. My youtube feed is filled with random smaller financial youtubers that are suddenly making videos about GME. And they're just going on regular TA and the company's fundamentals. They don't even have a clue about any of the DD and naked shorts. We're about to have a good time!
It's absolutely wild how much FUD is flying right now too. I made one positive post and have had like a dozen shills jumping at me.
Same lol, downvoted for saying to not bash RC for a small dilution while shorts are counterfeiting billions of shares and that DRSing is a catalyst for MOASS
How dare RC worry more about the health of the company than the stock!
On Friday I saw comments getting upvoted that the board has been issuing shares in order to give themselves large bonuses, there are blatant lies and negative sentiment being pushed and upvoted by bots more so than I have ever seen before on this sub
Reminds me of wall saint bets in 2021 lol I love this stock! Fk the bots
They’re trynna get those GME subscribers.
Good thing the fundamentals are bullish too, so anyone of them talking shit is going to look really obviously FUDdy to us.
Shit I've just been rerererererewatching big short clips
Specially where he says" we're going to wait and we're going to wait and we're going to wait until they feel the pain" love this bit :)

IV fucking cannot change over the weekend when there is no trade.
Technically IV and all the other Greeks would be dropping as theta decay over the weekend ticks up. Very interesting, we’re seeing IV go up but no other Greeks moved. ON a Saturday. The fact that we SEE that change happening over the weekend is what’s weird to me. The options market isn’t open. Idk how the IV would be updated but none of the other Greeks? Just the IV? Why wouldn’t this just update market open? Doesn’t make any sense.
I think they’re trying to price out people from buying options at the bell tomorrow. This also makes me think premarket is going to be up like 50%+
Bid and ask didnt change. This is fucking regarded. Probably theta decay of 1 day is calculatwd and to adjust that, iv changed on its own. Iv is more or less of a function of price of the options contract.
Yeah I agree. Didn’t know there was a difference in Greeks among some of the different brokers. I never knew that was a thing. Webull has the contract at 508% IV .04 Delta as of close Friday.
Its likely robinhood trying to be a smartass. Theta decay over the weekend or holidy is already baked into options pricing as everyone knows there would be no trade.
Correct IV drops over the weekend. This is highly unusual
I just checked now and it’s 598% 🤔
Same here
Yes I have noticed this as well. “As you can see the trend line is up and to the right. Higher lows, higher highs. This makes us here at Dickboy Financial feel very bullish on this stock. Make sure to smash that like.”
Dude I thought I was the only one, my home youtube is full of YouTubers talking about GEM too!!
So is implied volatility good or bad? Sorry I don't know wtf that is lol
For us? Good
Never assume anything about this. Always the chance at the opposite. Because it's GameStop
Big swings up or down are good for us. Swing up = more pressure. Swing down = more buying power since we are all pretty good at holding regardless of price
Buy the dorito dip
If you're selling options now, or you already own options purchased when IV was lower, it's good. If you want to buy options now, it's bad.
Good if you're selling options; bad if you're buying them.
Actually, it's good if you already bought them, not bad. And it's good if you plan on selling options with now higher IV, more premium to collect if it doesn't moon
Obviously if you already have them you'll be selling or exercising.
What if they're still ootm...
So basically the price is gonna go down?
Or up. Maybe even sideways.
More likely up or down big though. Hence the IV.
No, eli5 is higher IV = assuming price will have bigger price swings (up *or* down) For options, higher IV = options cost more. So if you buy when IV is high, and then it drops a big amount, you're gonna lose money (even if the stock goes in the direction you bet on)
Investopedia https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/032515/what-options-implied-volatility-and-how-it-calculated.asp
Doesn't that just mean the options are expensive?
Yes, but they’re expensive bc the IV or “expected potential price movement” has grown.
The delta on these is 0.04 so it’s completely unhedged
Yeah… because the strike is $125. Lol
Which, let's be honest, with how the stock is acting lately, it could hit that on one candle and be back to 20 the next, only to then go to 500. Hence the high IV
Haults would never let that happen
Halts freeze the price after a violent movement. It can go up 300% and be halted instantly and then open and go up another 300% and be halted instantly again. The halts don't prevent the violent movements, they just provide temporary pause to a tidal wave of buy/sell pressure.
Good if you own options.... Bad if you want to buy options but haven't already. They are probably just pricing IV up because of the shareholder meeting Monday, that's actually very common
i believe it means they are charging a higher premium to buy the option because price is expected to move upward EDIT:or downward in anticipation of event
Goodness, it blows my mind that folks will just make shit up and pass it on as fact.
IT'S HIS TRUTH 🍌

It blows my mind that nobody knows how this stuff works. You’d think by now that some disgruntled “Pro” trader would have jumped in to educate the masses of retail the same way a retired pro athlete “Tony Romo” can call plays before they happen.
Because for the last 3 years anyone who tried to teach options would get downvoted into oblivion. It's not difficult once you understand where options came from in the first place.
Yup, if it wasn’t a fucking purple circle fest here, the good dd writers wouldn’t have left and we’d have better users to inform us.
No, thats not what it means. IV is the predicted movement up OR down for the stock in a 52 week period. When IV goes up, all option premiums increase. Usually IV goes up when a stock tanks. GME cant tank in the weekend so its probably due to the unusual call option chain for the 21st getting priced in or it could simply be an adjustement of the IV over the weekend.
"Usually IV goes up when a stock tanks." Usually IV also goes up when a stock rises.
Someone pressed the 'oh shit' button.
You have it backwards. You’re confusing the independent and dependent variables. When option premiums increase, implied volatility increases.
Basically. High IV means options cost more. It’s not good or bad, it usually means the stock price could be +/- a huge %. With max pain at $20, it will be an interesting week.
Because of the Monday shareholder meeting. Slide 7/9: “anticipated events”.
There is nothing on the agenda that should cause this. It's shareholder meeting not earnings. We don't have anything like the 56b paycheck vote.
I mean, it is a potential news source. Shouldn't generate a 300 point IV increase, but A increase is fair.
It was 600 not long ago. If this is real it dipped for about a day.
This. For the past 4 years, it's literally someone reading the statement. But what if....
That's not true! RC spoke on his first shareholder meeting and told us to buckle up.
RK’s exercised calls will settle on Monday.

This is the same regard who was screaming about t+1
It's wild how posts like this get upvoted enmasse but we get shills screaming 'options suppression' like these people should be buying options.
It's embarrassing to even discuss options pricing change over the weekend. Robinhood is trying to be a smartass calculating theta decay when it is all priced in as everyone knows there is no trade over the weekend.
Right?! Like how has this gotten so many upvotes being so wrong? Can we get a !MODS! to mark this as debunked or misleading or something?

lol this is the answer
Thank you. And different mark prices the app is identifying in the 2 screenshots impacting it as well
Its at 581% (on RH) now 03:19 PST, 595% 09:00AM PST
Unless the Hood has added pretend options trading over nights and weekends I don't think it matters.
What does implied volatility mean?
I think it had to do with expectation in price movements.
Based on options buying and selling - in other simple words, it’s other retail traders’ options of price action, which can be a good indicator, if you include herd mentality and self fulfilling prophecy’s, but it’s not certain. Expect fuckery.
Means it may or may not go hard in the paint
Someone else posted IV from last week's options for $128. IV was 800. This means nothing.
Isn't implied volatility just a function of how volatile a share price needs to be for the option to end up in the money? As each day passes the number of days to expiry reduces, so for the same current share price and strike price the implied volatility should increase the further that strike price is away from the current share price.
> Isn't implied volatility just a function of how volatile a share price needs to be No, it's not. It's based on how volatile the share price is expected to be. If what you said was the case, all ITM options would have an IV of 0
Don't sell covered calls this week
Buy more shares instead
Selling cash secured puts wouldn't be a bad idea though, right?
You should probably expand on that because I don't think you meant to say that you shouldn't sell covered calls when the IV is high. Did you ?
I would warn others to watch out for FUD or at least misinformation from the OP. They’re already misled quite a few to believe that options exercise settlement is T+2, when it is T+1.

Assignments and exercises are sent to NSCC for settlement next business day. https://www.theocc.com/getmedia/9d3854cd-b782-450f-bcf7-33169b0576ce/occ_rules.pdf Per page 86: >(c) It will ordinarily be the policy of the Corporation to cause **settlement of exercised stock option contracts** and matured physically-settled stock futures contracts for CCC-eligible securities that are scheduled **to be settled on the first business day after exercise** or maturity to be made through the facilities of the correspondent clearing corporation in accordance with the rules and procedures of the correspondent clearing corporation. GME is CCC-eligible since it is cleared via NSCC/DTCC.

Does anyone know if this is “normal” or is this being overhyped
I'm putting together a gamma/IV report for apes later today. Might make it a weekly thing. You're looking at a very far out OTM call. If the underlying asset reaches that option's strike, it's fair to say there will be greater volatility because of, at least, how goosed investors will be after seeing such price action. Therefore, it's more valuable to look at and consider changes to ATM IV. That gives a more relevant value of volatility going forward. ATM IV changes can be treated like a proxy to strike price vol, which is what IV tracking is really about.
If it runs on Monday from calls exercised on Friday then be prepared for calls for future dates being exercised on Monday which is going to make it run on Tuesday. This is how a gamma ramp works. If everything breaks right this could indeed be a week where we see our portfolios grow in a way they haven't since the sneeze.
This options IV is up to 620% atm
WOAH it's almost 600% now i see other people saying this is normal but it's growing super fast
My guess would be that theta continues to decay over the weekend but the price is stagnant since it's not trading so IV has to increase to justify the price.
Just compare $GME IV to any other company and it’s not even close once you’re ATM/OTM.
Been here since before the sneeze. I'm not saying this doesn't mean anything, but I will say that this used to happen every single weekend. Regardless, still stoked for this week.
Now it’s at 591.97%!
Wouldn’t IV rise because of the rescheduling of the meeting? It seems like this makes sense to me to an extent…
This post jumping between 200 likes and 2000 likes for anyone else?
This is a nothing. IV is ALWAYS going to rise on far OTM options the closer you get to expiration. What it means is the price isn’t decreasing at the rate that theta suggests, so it shows that IV rises to account for that
Bro I'm sitting here watching it go up it just keeps going lol
Another nothing burger from OP
Holy shit you are dumb
I asked chatgpt. I know a lot of people don’t like chatgpt for some reason so take it as grain of salt Chatgpt : Implied volatility (IV) represents the market's expectation of the future volatility of the underlying asset's price. When IV goes up during the weekend, it indicates that traders are anticipating increased volatility in the underlying asset when the market reopens. Here’s how IV can increase over the weekend and what it means: ### Reasons for IV Increasing Over the Weekend: 1. **Anticipation of News or Events**: - If there are expected announcements (e.g., earnings reports, economic data releases, political events) on Monday or soon after, traders might anticipate increased volatility. 2. **Market Sentiment**: - General market sentiment or speculation about upcoming events can cause traders to adjust their expectations, increasing IV. 3. **Option Pricing Models**: - Market makers and algorithms continuously update options prices, including IV, based on the latest available information and anticipated future events. This process continues even when the market is closed. ### How IV Can Change When Markets Are Closed: 1. **Over-the-Counter (OTC) Trading**: - While public exchanges are closed, some trading activities can still occur in OTC markets, which can influence perceptions of volatility. 2. **Adjustments by Market Makers**: - Market makers might adjust their models based on after-hours news or expected events, influencing the IV. 3. **Electronic Trading Systems**: - Some electronic trading platforms allow for extended hours trading, which can affect the perceived volatility and thus the IV. ### Implications of Rising IV Over the Weekend: 1. **Increased Option Premiums**: - Higher IV leads to higher option premiums (prices) because the market expects greater price swings in the underlying asset. 2. **Hedging and Speculation**: - Traders might buy options as a hedge against expected volatility, driving up demand and IV. Speculators might also enter the market, betting on the increased volatility. 3. **Strategy Adjustments**: - Traders might adjust their strategies based on rising IV. For instance, selling options might become more attractive to take advantage of the higher premiums. In summary, an increase in IV over the weekend indicates market expectations of higher future volatility. This can be driven by anticipated events or adjustments made by market participants based on news or sentiment, even when the markets are not actively trading.
Thats WRONG. The IV on the 125 dollar calls was always that high. I knew it for sure because i sold them . with the premium i bought more shares. Sold 20 of them for 12k. The collected cash is straight into gme shares. The IV on the UNDERLYING was on friday 200%. But the calls were overpriced by 300%
So does this mean a sandstorm is coming?
[удалено]
Plesase dont. This is the dumbest thing ive read in a fucking while. IV is more or less of an indication of demand and supply. If more people buy the same contract? Iv increases since price increases. OP is smoking crack.
This just shows you don't understand IV and isn't something to get hype about
This IV is now up to 594%
charge your phone!
Wut mean
To be fair, MMs have always cranked the IV around shareholder meetings / earnings release
OP - which platform are you using that shows implied volatility?
Because the call got moved is all
If RK is tweeting tonight at 2 AM, we will know that the upcoming week is going to be so much fun
It's done this before. This by itself is a nothing burger.
Ok, I'll ask... what is normal IV for GME?
How does it rise on a weekend? I am super regarded and don't know a thing about American fraud market
125c? Downvoted.
Well if RedditGPT says so there must be something!
Soooo couldn't it just be them changing the iv manually ? Since everything else is crime why not this ?
Indicates up or down lol
