NVTX snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $16.01, ATM IV 156.20%, IV rank 17.88%, expected move 44.78%. The bear put spread on NVTX below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 80-day expiry.
Why this bear put spread structure on NVTX specifically: NVTX IV at 156.20% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a NVTX bear put spread, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 44.78% (roughly $7.17 on the underlying). The 80-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated NVTX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on NVTX should anchor to the underlying notional of $16.01 per share and to the trader's directional view on NVTX etf.
NVTX bear put spread setup
The NVTX bear put spread below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With NVTX at $16.01 on that close, the first option leg uses a $16.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed NVTX chain at a 80-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 NVTX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Put | $16.00 | $4.95 |
| Sell 1 | Put | $15.00 | $4.30 |

NVTX thesis for this bear put spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for NVTX extends from approximately $8.84 on the downside to $23.18 on the upside. A NVTX bear put spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bearish position; relative to an outright long put on NVTX, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current NVTX IV rank near 17.88% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on NVTX at 156.20%. As a Financial Services name, NVTX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to NVTX-specific events.
NVTX bear put spread positions are structurally moderately bearish; the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. NVTX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move NVTX alongside the broader basket even when NVTX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bear put spread on NVTX are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current NVTX chain quotes before placing a trade.
