Current RVI snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $32.95, ATM IV 87.20%, IV rank 31.08%, expected move 25.00%. The long call on RVI 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 18-day expiry.
Why this long call structure on RVI specifically: RVI IV at 87.20% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 25.00% (roughly $8.24 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated RVI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RVI should anchor to the underlying notional of $32.95 per share and to the trader's directional view on RVI stock.
RVI long call setup
The RVI long call below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With RVI near $32.95, the first option leg uses a $32.95 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RVI chain at a 18-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 RVI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

RVI thesis for this long call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RVI extends from approximately $24.71 on the downside to $41.19 on the upside. A RVI long call expresses a directional view that the underlying closes above the strike plus premium at expiration, ideally with implied volatility holding or expanding to preserve extrinsic value through the hold period. Current RVI IV rank near 31.08% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the long call thesis on RVI should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Real Estate name, RVI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RVI-specific events.
RVI long call positions are structurally bullish; 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. RVI positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RVI alongside the broader basket even when RVI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long call on RVI are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current RVI chain quotes before placing a trade.
