A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
Current PYPG snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $5.44, ATM IV 363.20%, IV rank 73.22%, expected move 104.13%. The butterfly on PYPG below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 81-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on PYPG specifically: PYPG IV at 363.20% is rich versus its 1-year range, which makes a premium-buying PYPG butterfly relatively expensive in absolute-cost terms, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 104.13% (roughly $5.66 on the underlying). The 81-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated PYPG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PYPG should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.44 per share and to the trader's directional view on PYPG etf.
PYPG butterfly setup
The PYPG butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With PYPG near $5.44, the first option leg uses a $5.17 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PYPG chain at a 81-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 PYPG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

PYPG thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PYPG extends from approximately $-0.22 on the downside to $11.10 on the upside. A PYPG long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if PYPG settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current PYPG IV rank near 73.22% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on PYPG at 363.20%. As a Financial Services name, PYPG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PYPG-specific events.
PYPG butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); 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. PYPG positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PYPG alongside the broader basket even when PYPG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current PYPG chain quotes before placing a trade.
