What is an implied move?

The implied move is the size of the earnings-day move the options market is pricing in, derived from the at-the-money straddle expiring just after the report. It is a market price, not a forecast.

After the report, options typically reprice sharply — the IV crush calculator shows what an option is worth once implied volatility resets.
