CRCT snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $5.78, ATM IV 57.80%, IV rank 13.96%, expected move 16.57%. The iron condor on CRCT 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 35-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on CRCT specifically: CRCT IV at 57.80% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling CRCT iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 16.57% (roughly $0.96 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CRCT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CRCT should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.78 per share and to the trader's directional view on CRCT stock.
CRCT iron condor setup
The CRCT 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 CRCT at $5.78 on that close, the first option leg uses a $6.07 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CRCT chain at a 35-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 CRCT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $6.36 | N/A |
| Sell 1 | Put | $5.49 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $5.20 | N/A |

CRCT thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CRCT extends from approximately $4.82 on the downside to $6.74 on the upside. A CRCT iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CRCT 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 CRCT IV rank near 13.96% 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 CRCT at 57.80%. As a Technology name, CRCT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CRCT-specific events.
CRCT 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. CRCT positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CRCT alongside the broader basket even when CRCT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on CRCT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CRCT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CRCT chain quotes before placing a trade.
