What Does Implied Volatility Reveal?
Implied volatility corresponds to the market’s belief in what the share price of an underlying asset should be in the future. High implied volatility indicates that the market anticipates the stock will continue to be volatile, or keep moving significantly, either in the same direction or up and down. Low implied volatility shows that the market expects share price changes to be moderate. But implied volatility can also reveal much more than general market expectations.

Making Trading Decisions Based on the Disparity between Historical and Implied Volatility
Professional market makers typically trade volatility by maintaining “delta-hedged” positions. In other words, they buy or sell options and consequently hedge against (protect) the option position by buying futures on cryptocurrency indices or with other complementary options contracts.

Appreciating Volatility for All It Is Worth
The risk embedded in the underlying asset establishes the fair value for implied volatility for that asset. The apparent fair value of volatility may often, and for long periods, diverge from its market price, or cited implied volatility. A trader who disagrees with the implied volatility in the market for an asset will buy or sell accordingly. That is, if a trader believes the price of a cryptocurrency is likely to gain value slowly over the next three months, he might decide to buy the cryptocurrency even if the implied volatility for the options based on that cryptocurrency is high, showing that the market believes that the price is likely to move sharply up or down in the same time period.

How Volatility Really Works
Implied volatility should move along with historical volatility. Future volatility tends to follow the volatility observed more recently, especially when the time periods involved are short. But implied volatility can sometimes spike in response to unusual market events.

Volatility and Uncertainty: Lessons for the Irrational Option Trader
No one can predict the future, but when considering volatility and uncertainty, many people tend to regard that statement in terms of risk, nothing but risk—as something to avoid, or as a prediction of future loss. Yet history tells us that the market can provide large surprises on both the upside and the downside. Relevant examples include technological innovations nobody could have imagined earlier, or great ideas that improve efficiency or lower cost.

Varieties of Option Volatility Trading
Option volatility trading comes in three typical varieties.
First, there are positions, or spreads, in which volatility is uniformly long or short and the vega, gamma, and theta are all on the same side of the market - all three are positive or all three are negative. Vega shows how the price of an options contract changes when the volatility in the price of the underlying stock changes by 1 percent. The theta refers to how the price of an options contract will change as time passes. Also called time decay, the theta allows you to estimate how much the value of an options contract might decrease from one day to the next if the stock price or volatility does not change. Options contracts tend to lose value over time simply because they eventually expire, and they are worthless at that date if they are not exercised first. Delta describes how the price of an options contract changes due to a change in the share price of the underlying stock. The gamma refers to the change in the delta itself when the share price changes. The gamma describes the stability of the delta. A large gamma suggests that the delta might start changing even with a small change in the asset price.

Working with Volatility to Make Investment Decisions
The subject of volatility, as any experienced trader will attest, is itself a volatile subject. Volatility has undergone remarkable changes during the past couple of decades in terms of how it’s calculated, predicted, and utilized by investors and traders alike.

On Predicting the Future
For options traders, successfully predicting implied volatility for contracts is crucial. But that expectation leads to a central problem related to performance for options traders, and traders in general, over the years - traders are obliged to be prophets. The most obvious issue, of course, is the dress code.
Goat-hair robes, oak staves, and waist-length beards tend to interfere with trading, especially floor trading. However, much more important than the prophet’s garb is the prophet’s results. Predicting the future is arguably the only area in which humans are always spectacularly incompetent.
