15% - 22%Low IV, below average
22% - 35%Typical, normal conditions
35% - 60%Elevated, above average

Earnings impact

IV builds 5-7 days before quarterly earnings. JPM reports early in earnings season, often setting tone for financials.

The move options are pricing for the next report, and how the last 12 went: JPM earnings expected move.

The post-earnings volatility drop is known as IV crush. Holders of short JPM options should also understand early assignment risk around dividends and expiration.

IV typically trades at modest premium to HV. Premium expands during rate uncertainty and banking stress.

Term structure

Usually contango. Inverts during banking crises (SVB 2023) and major Fed uncertainty.
