XBI last closed at $150.55 with 30-day implied volatility of 31.9%. That is in the lower half of its one-year range (IV rank 38), so premiums are on the modest side for XBI. Measured by IV percentile, IV is higher than 59% of the past year's readings. Options expiring Dec 11 (28 days out) price a one standard deviation move of about $13.20, or 8.8%.

The 14-day RSI of 46.2 is between 30 and 70, neither overbought nor oversold. The 14-day average true range is $4.93, about 3.3% of the price, a measure of a typical day's range.

XBI 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.

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.
