Your Ticker's IV Just Moved. What Happens Next?
When 30-day implied volatility moves, the market is repricing risk. The IV Momentum tool scans the market and detects stocks whose implied volatility jumped today and shows what usually happens next.
Implied volatility is the market's price of fear, and it moves in its own rhythm. When a ticker's 30-day IV jumps, options just got more expensive and the crowd is bracing for a bigger move. When it slides, the air is coming out of the premium. The question every options trader actually cares about is conditional: my ticker's IV just moved to here, what has price historically done next?
The folklore says high IV means a drop is coming and low IV means calm ahead. The honest answer is more interesting: what happens next depends on the IV level you are at and which way IV is moving to get there. A ticker pushing up into elevated IV behaves differently from one settling back down through the same level. IV Momentum separates the two before it shows you the forward odds.
A live IV read, a 45-day forward price cone, a Chance of Move bar graph, a full sortable event log, and a watchlist scan of where IV sits across the board.
One glance tells you where 30-day implied volatility sits today and which way it moved.
Projects the next 45 days by applying forward returns from past days at a similar IV level and direction.
How often price rose or fell by a set percentage after similar IV moves.
Today's 30-day implied volatility and whether it rose or fell from yesterday, the market repricing risk in real time.
The tool scans the market and auto-highlights stocks whose implied volatility moved most today.
The Historical Log displays every past instance when IV looked like today's.
Check if any stocks on your watchlist or in the market had a notable IV move today.
Open the 45-day price cone. It shows how price behaved after similar IV moves in the past. This gives you a realistic view of what typically happens next instead of guessing.
Switch to Bar Graph view and set your target price level. The bars show how often similar IV moves reached that distance by upcoming expirations. Toggle between "By Touch" and "By Close" depending on your strategy.
Before acting on the signal, open the events log. Check how many historical matches exist and whether they cluster in one period. A small sample or regime-specific cluster tells you the signal may be less reliable than the percentages suggest.
