Implied volatility
RLAY is currently trading with moderate implied volatility, broadly in line with other large-cap stocks. On the options we scanned that was around 32% implied volatility, and higher implied volatility means richer premiums and wider expected moves.
Options on RLAY currently price in about 32% implied volatility, versus roughly 60% the stock has actually realised over the past month. That makes options relatively cheap — an edge for strategies that buy premium, such as long calls, long puts and debit spreads.
Off that volatility, the options market is pricing a move of about ±$1,75 (±9%) in RLAY by 2026-08-21 — a range of roughly $17,51 to $21,01. Strikes inside that band hold most of the premium and see most of the action.
Across strikes, downside puts on RLAY trade at a higher implied volatility than upside calls — the market is paying up for crash protection. That skew favours selling put spreads or buying calls over symmetric trades.
