Still, even with the big bump, there could be additional gains to be extracted from HUT stock.<\/p>\n<p>Fundamentally, bullish investors can take heart with a potential rebound brewing in the digital asset market. Though we&#8217;re not seeing the remarkable ascendancy that usually characterizes crypto rallies, technical analysts would argue that multiple benchmark assets have found a floor. Given the severe drop in value in recent months, even stabilization is a piece of good news that blockchain adherents will gladly take.<\/p>\n<p>On the options order flow front, traders are expecting a massive move over the next several weeks for HUT stock. How do we know this? Multiple resources report that the &#8220;expected move&#8221; for the January 16 monthly options chain is about 18.8% in either direction. Based on the current market price, that would imply a dispersion between $43.04 and $62.96.<\/p>\n<p>As you might imagine, the February-month expiration date is even worse, with an expected move exceeding 20%. Depending on how each individual source calculates their projections, the range could be around $35 to $65 or wider.<\/p>\n<p>These numbers aren&#8217;t voodoo as they&#8217;re built from implied volatility (IV) using the Black-Scholes model. Without getting into too many mathematical complexities, IV is very much like the &#8220;whoosh&#8221; of a passing car relative to where you&#8217;re standing.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the crack of the wind and the length of the aural resonance, you can infer the velocity of the vehicle. But without additional context, you can&#8217;t tell where exactly the driver is headed \u2014 especially in a major metropolitan area.<\/p>\n<p>Still, with a little detective work, we&#8217;re going to narrow down this wide-as-heck dispersion to help even the odds.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Focusing On The Likely Range Of Outcomes For HUT Stock<\/h2>\n<p>When talking about IV and &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/markets\/options\/25\/12\/49573584\/hut-stock-crypto-chaos-contrarian-bullish-opportunity?utm_source=benzinga_taxonomy&amp;utm_medium=rss_feed_free&amp;utm_content=taxonomy_rss&amp;utm_campaign=channel\" alt=\"Options\" corner: how a simple adjustment turns hut stock chaos into opportunity>Full story available on Benzinga.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the cryptocurrency market has been struggling since early October, as history demonstrates, it&#8217;s usually not a good idea to stay indefinitely pessimistic on the sector&#8217;s prospects.
