What ATM IV tells you
At-the-money implied volatility is the market's expected future movement priced into the options nearest spot. Higher IV means richer premiums and bigger expected moves; lower IV means cheaper options. IV climbs into events (results, budget, policy) and collapses after — the "IV crush" that punishes option buyers. At the index level, India VIX is the headline 30-day expected volatility derived from NIFTY options.
