Positioning before the decision
On Mar 12, 2025, 14 days before the decision date, at-the-money options priced a move of ±30.9% through Apr 17, 2025 (the first listed expiry after the decision; ATM implied volatility 127%). The stock closed +6.1% at the first close across the decision and -18.0% five trading days on. A straddle priced weeks out covers ordinary movement plus the event, so this is the move the options market priced through that expiry, not the event-implied move alone.
