AVLN snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $27.34, ATM IV 48.80%, expected move 13.99%. The iron condor on AVLN below is built from the 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 iron condor structure on AVLN specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for AVLN is inferred from ATM IV at 48.80% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 13.99% (roughly $3.83 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 AVLN expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AVLN should anchor to the underlying notional of $27.34 per share and to the trader's directional view on AVLN stock.
AVLN iron condor setup
The AVLN iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With AVLN at $27.34 on that close, the first option leg uses a $28.71 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AVLN 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 AVLN shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

AVLN thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AVLN extends from approximately $23.51 on the downside to $31.17 on the upside. A AVLN iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when AVLN stays inside the inner short strikes through expiration; the wing width should reflect the trader's tolerance for the maximum loss scenario where the underlying breaches an outer strike. As a Healthcare name, AVLN options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AVLN-specific events.
AVLN iron condor positions are structurally neutral / range-bound; 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. AVLN positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AVLN alongside the broader basket even when AVLN-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on AVLN carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical AVLN earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current AVLN chain quotes before placing a trade.
