I'm trying to understand what is considered a normal strike price. I've heard this term in the context of options trading, but I'm not sure what it means or how it's determined. Can someone explain?
Conversely, if the strike price is higher than the market price, the option is "out of the money" and has no intrinsic value.

Specifically, the strike price is the threshold price at which an option becomes profitable or worthless upon expiration.

If an option's strike price is lower than the market price of the underlying asset at expiration, the option is considered "in the money" and has some intrinsic value.

The strike price of an option is preset by the exchanges where it is traded.
