June 20, 2025: Options Volatility Explodes—Here Are the Implied Earnings Moves You Can’t Ignore
Markets are braced for impact as options volatility spikes—again. Traders scramble to price in earnings moves before the bell, but the algos might have other plans.
Implied moves scream opportunity (or pain).
Who’s positioned to win? Short answer: The usual suspects—market makers, hedge funds, and that one intern who somehow nailed the timing. Meanwhile, retail traders are left deciphering tea leaves from FinTwit gurus. Classic.
Volatility isn’t just back—it’s flexing. Whether this is your golden ticket or a warning sign depends entirely on which side of the trade you’re on. Pro tip: Hope isn’t a strategy, but hey, neither was most of 2024’s ‘risk management.’
