Riot Blockchain option prices can potentially be used to forecast stock returns because most option chains provide information not only about the current prices but also about the future conditions in Riot Blockchain's lending market. For example, when Riot Blockchain's puts are not actively trading or completely missing in the marketplace, investors can use it to internalize expected shorting costs. So if an investor is writing a put option on Riot Blockchain, he or she must hedge the risk by shorting Riot Blockchain stock over its option's life.

Riot Blockchain Maximum Pain Price Across 2026-01-16 Option Contracts
Max pain occurs when Riot Blockchain's market makers reach a net positive position across all Riot Blockchain's options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, Riot Blockchain's option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.
Riot Blockchain In The Money Call Balance
When Riot Blockchain's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Riot Blockchain stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Riot Blockchain's options that are 'In the Money' or 'Out of the Money', the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on Riot Blockchain are typically viewed as the more aggressive, there are potential upsides to purchasing these types of options contracts. For one, the cost to buy an 'Out of the Money' option is lower than the cost to buy an 'In the Money' option. This cost-benefit is due to the fact that at the time of the purchase, 'Out of the Money' contracts have no intrinsic value. So, while the potential for a 100% loss is more significant, the cost and risk to enter the trade are lower.
Riot Current Options Market Mood
Riot Blockchain's open interest and total value indicators provide investors with the necessary information to digest the overall options buildup for its expiring contracts. In addition, it helps Riot Stock's traders understand whether a recent fall or rise in the market is unreasonable and if the time has come to take contrarian positions. These ratios are calculated based on options trading volumes and current open interest.

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Riot Blockchain will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0656% per day over the life of the 2026-01-16 option contract. With Riot Blockchain trading at USD 16.13, that is roughly USD 0.0106. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Riot Blockchain's daily price movement you should consider buying Riot Blockchain options at the current volatility level of 1.05%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
