WDC last closed at $295.65 with 30-day implied volatility of 75.3%. That is in the lower half of its one-year range (IV rank 27), so premiums are on the modest side for WDC.

The 14-day RSI of 38.5 is between 30 and 70, neither overbought nor oversold. The 14-day average true range is $26.96, about 9.1% of the price, a measure of a typical day's range.

WDC 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 20, 20267 days | 81.9% | ±$33.52 (11.3%) | $262.13 to $329.17 | $26.70 |
| Dec 11, 202628 days | 76.4% | ±$62.56 (21.2%) | $233.09 to $358.21 | $49.70 |
| Jan 15, 202763 days | 70.8% | ±$86.97 (29.4%) | $208.68 to $382.62 | $69.40 |
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.
