What it shows
Implied volatility is the market's price for uncertainty. Rising IV makes options more expensive; falling IV makes them cheaper, even if the underlying does not move. For option buyers and sellers alike, knowing whether volatility is expanding or contracting is as important as knowing the direction of the index.
The IV Chart plots at-the-money and per-strike implied volatility through the trading session, with calls and puts shown separately so skew and intraday changes in risk pricing are easy to read.
