Implied OUT, interpreted as a measure related to implied volatility for out-of-the-money options, represents the market’s forecast of future price fluctuations for an underlying crypto asset at specific strike prices. It quantifies the expected magnitude of price changes embedded within the current market prices of derivative contracts.
Mechanism
The mechanism for deriving Implied OUT involves reverse-engineering an options pricing model, such as Black-Scholes or a binomial model. Given an option’s market price, strike, time to expiry, and risk-free rate, the calculation iteratively solves for the volatility parameter that reconciles the model price with the observed market price for options with strikes beyond the current asset price.
Methodology
This metric provides critical insights into market participants’ collective risk perceptions and expected price ranges for the underlying crypto. Traders apply Implied OUT for pricing bespoke options, assessing relative value across the volatility surface, and structuring complex options strategies. It serves as a key indicator for potential tail risks or market dislocations in institutional crypto options trading environments.
Implied pricing for a UDS functions as a liquidity aggregation protocol, enhancing underlying market depth by systematically linking disparate order books.
