Implied Move

Glossary

The implied move of a stock represents how much the price is expected to move over a period of time. Unless otherwise specified the time period is generally until the end of the current week. The implied move is most often referenced prior to known binary events, such as an earnings report.

 

Implied move formula:
Cost of the front month at the money straddle multiplied by .85

 

The implied move is referenced by a percentage (+/- 4.27% in the example image) and can be followed by the corresponding dollar amount.
