Event ATM IV is 28.1% below the historical median at the T-35 checkpoint. The ATM straddle implies a ±22.8% move — 2.43x the historical median actual move. Actual move exceeded the implied move in 2 of 4 prior events.
The primary candidate is Long Straddle (strong signal), with 2 eligible alternatives. Through-earnings structure: typically opened T-3 to T-1 and evaluated at T+1.
Very Cheap event volatility; acceptable liquidity. Historical evidence quality is medium (4–11 reconstructed events.) and the sample covers exact-contract reconstructions, not live published recommendations.
Current implied volatility versus prior earnings cycles
Current ATM IV is 89.8% versus a 125.0% historical median at the T-35 checkpoint (-28.1%).
Pre-earnings IV curveStored ATM IV checkpoints and historical interquartile band. Null checkpoints are gaps, not interpolated quotes. A single current snapshot is not a current-cycle curve.

Historical sample12 events · Medium quality
Implied observations come from the earnings expiration at the stored snapshot; realized moves use the absolute post-earnings session return. Missing implied quotes remain gaps — they are never treated as zero moves, and exceedance counts use only paired observations.
Volatility term structure
The earnings expiration trades 0.6 volatility points above the next expiration. Classification: Flat.
Volatility term structureATM IV by stored expiration. Earnings-containing expirations are marked; missing IV stays unavailable. Expiry spacing reflects DTE, not equal calendar spacing.
