Current RVLV snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $18.55, ATM IV 53.60%, IV rank 15.19%, expected move 15.37%. The long call on RVLV 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 34-day expiry.
Why this long call structure on RVLV specifically: RVLV IV at 53.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a RVLV long call, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.37% (roughly $2.85 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated RVLV expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RVLV should anchor to the underlying notional of $18.55 per share and to the trader's directional view on RVLV stock.
RVLV long call setup
The RVLV 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 RVLV near $18.55, the first option leg uses a $18.55 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RVLV chain at a 34-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 RVLV shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

RVLV thesis for this long call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RVLV extends from approximately $15.70 on the downside to $21.40 on the upside. A RVLV 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 RVLV IV rank near 15.19% 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 RVLV at 53.60%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, RVLV options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RVLV-specific events.
RVLV 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. RVLV positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RVLV alongside the broader basket even when RVLV-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long call on RVLV 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 RVLV chain quotes before placing a trade.
