XLP 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.

ExpirationIVExpected move1 SD rangeStraddle
Nov 20, 20267 days18.0%±$2.30 (2.5%)$90.05 to $94.65$1.84

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.
