GDX expected move by expiration

Expected move = price x at-the-money IV x the square root of (days to expiration / 365), a one standard deviation range. The straddle is the at-the-money call plus put, the market's own price for a move. Compare expected moves across stocks.

Expiration	IV	Expected move	1 SD range	Straddle
Nov 16, 20263 days	30.3%	±$2.24 (2.7%)	$79.40 to $83.88	$1.81
Dec 11, 202628 days	42.4%	±$9.58 (11.7%)	$72.06 to $91.22	$7.63
Jan 15, 202763 days	41.1%	±$13.95 (17.1%)	$67.69 to $95.59	$11.10

Each expiration has its own implied volatility, and short-dated IV reacts more to near-term events, so the nearest expiration can differ a lot from the 30-day figure.
