Current RYTM snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $90.66, ATM IV 81.90%, IV rank 37.64%, expected move 23.48%. The iron condor on RYTM 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 63-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on RYTM specifically: RYTM IV at 81.90% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a RYTM iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 23.48% (roughly $21.29 on the underlying). The 63-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated RYTM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RYTM should anchor to the underlying notional of $90.66 per share and to the trader's directional view on RYTM stock.

RYTM iron condor setup

The RYTM 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 RYTM near $90.66, the first option leg uses a $95.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RYTM chain at a 63-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 RYTM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$95.00	$9.20
Buy 1	Call	$100.00	$7.30
Sell 1	Put	$85.00	$7.60
Buy 1	Put	$80.00	$5.50

RYTM thesis for this iron condor

A RYTM iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when RYTM 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 RYTM IV rank near 37.64% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on RYTM should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Healthcare name, RYTM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RYTM-specific events.

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