Expected Move (1σ)±9.09%Volatility over remaining DTE
Feasibility Ratio0.00x EMThreshold: ≤ 1.25x EM
Long Wing Barrier$98.00Structural floor intact
Feasibility Rule Status: Feasible (Recovery Projected). The required move to breakeven (0.00%) represents only 0% of the statistical expected move over the remaining holding window, meaning mean reversion remains highly feasible.
