Current CCI snapshot

As of June 29, 2026, spot at $78.56, ATM IV 31.90%, IV rank 76.61%, expected move 9.15%. The iron condor on CCI 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 17-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on CCI specifically: CCI IV at 31.90% is rich versus its 1-year range, which favors premium-selling structures like a CCI iron condor, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.15% (roughly $7.18 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 CCI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CCI should anchor to the underlying notional of $78.56 per share and to the trader's directional view on CCI stock.

CCI iron condor setup

The CCI 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 CCI near $78.56, the first option leg uses a $82.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CCI 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 CCI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$82.50	$0.48
Buy 1	Call	$87.50	$0.20
Sell 1	Put	$75.00	$1.55
Buy 1	Put	$70.00	$0.43

CCI thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CCI extends from approximately $71.38 on the downside to $85.74 on the upside. A CCI iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CCI 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. Current CCI IV rank near 76.61% 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 CCI at 31.90%. As a Real Estate name, CCI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CCI-specific events.

CCI 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. CCI positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CCI alongside the broader basket even when CCI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on CCI carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CCI earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CCI chain quotes before placing a trade.
