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 20, 20267 days	30.9%	±$10.59 (4.3%)	$236.54 to $257.72	$8.45

Feb 19, 202798 days	36.2%	±$46.42 (18.8%)	$200.71 to $293.55	$36.82

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.
