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	20.3%	±$9.66 (1.8%)	$514.22 to $533.54	$7.75

Feb 19, 202798 days	30.6%	±$82.96 (15.8%)	$440.92 to $606.84	$65.93

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.
