What Sensex IV is telling you
Implied volatility is the market's expectation of future movement, baked into option premiums. The latest Sensex at-the-money IV is 14.4%. Higher IV means richer premiums (good for sellers, costly for buyers); lower IV means cheaper options. Index IV tracks India VIX and spikes around events.
Using IV to pick a strategy
When Sensex IV is high relative to its own history, premium-selling strategies (spreads, condors) are favoured; when low, buying options or debit spreads costs less. Judge IV with IV rank, and beware IV crush after results and policy events.
