[B]Option Traders Price Action On British EU Referendum[/B]
On Jun 23rd 2016 British people have EU referendum to stay or leave European Union.
With remain and leave sides by latest polls being almost equal at around 44%, this is creating huge jump in options implied volatility since financial markets could be shaken a lot in case majority decide to leave EU.
Let’s take a look at a price action of option traders to see where they think price of British Pound or GBP/USD exchange rate could go in next few days and weeks.
[B]Forex spot options price action for GBP/USD[/B]
We can see that At-The-Money or ATM options implied volatility is today around 44% for 1 week pound options.
This would transfer in daily 1 standard deviation moves of around 400 pips either way from current GBP/USD spot price of around 1.4650.
Or to say in more simple way – there’s around 69% probability that this week GBP/USD exchange rate every day make a move up to 1.5050 or down to 1.4250 for a total swing as much as up to 800 pips from high to low.
