ROKT snapshot

As of August 17, 2026, spot at $123.00, ATM IV 27.30%, IV rank 2.52%, expected move 7.83%. The butterfly on ROKT below is built from the August 17, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 32-day expiry.

Why this butterfly structure on ROKT specifically: ROKT IV at 27.30% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a ROKT butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 7.83% (roughly $9.63 on the underlying). The 32-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ROKT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ROKT should anchor to the underlying notional of $123.00 per share and to the trader's directional view on ROKT etf.

ROKT butterfly setup

The ROKT butterfly below is built from the August 17, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ROKT at $123.00 on that close, the first option leg uses a $117.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ROKT chain at a 32-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 ROKT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$117.00	$7.90
Sell 2	Call	$123.00	$4.03
Buy 1	Call	$126.00	$3.08

When traders use butterfly on ROKT

Butterflies on ROKT are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect ROKT to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.

ROKT thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ROKT extends from approximately $113.37 on the downside to $132.63 on the upside. A ROKT long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if ROKT settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current ROKT IV rank near 2.52% 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 ROKT at 27.30%. As a Financial Services name, ROKT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ROKT-specific events.

ROKT 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. ROKT positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ROKT alongside the broader basket even when ROKT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ROKT chain quotes before placing a trade.
