TEUP snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $17.46, ATM IV 203.80%, expected move 58.43%. The butterfly on TEUP 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 17-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on TEUP specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for TEUP is inferred from ATM IV at 203.80% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 58.43% (roughly $10.20 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TEUP expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TEUP should anchor to the underlying notional of $17.46 per share and to the trader's directional view on TEUP etf.
TEUP butterfly setup
The TEUP butterfly 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 TEUP at $17.46 on that close, the first option leg uses a $17.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TEUP chain at a 17-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 TEUP shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use butterfly on TEUP
Butterflies on TEUP are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect TEUP 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.
TEUP thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TEUP extends from approximately $7.26 on the downside to $27.66 on the upside. A TEUP long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if TEUP settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. As a Financial Services name, TEUP options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TEUP-specific events.
TEUP 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. TEUP positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TEUP alongside the broader basket even when TEUP-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current TEUP chain quotes before placing a trade.
