In a nutshell, if Imperial Oil's implied volatility is high, the market thinks the stock has potential for high price swings in either direction. On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that Imperial Oil stock will not fluctuate a lot when Imperial Oil's options are near their expiration.
The fear of missing out, i.e., FOMO, can cause potential investors in Imperial Oil to buy its stock at a price that has no basis in reality.

Have you ever been surprised when a price of a Company such as Imperial Oil is soaring high without any particular reason? This is usually happening because many institutional investors are aggressively trading Imperial Oil backward and forwards among themselves. Have you ever observed a lot of a particular company's price movement is driven by press releases or news about the company that has nothing to do with actual earnings? Usually, hype to individual companies acts as price momentum. If not enough favorable publicity is forthcoming, the Stock price eventually runs out of speed.

About Imperial Oil Predictive Indicators

The successful prediction of Imperial Oil stock price could yield a significant profit to investors. But is it possible?
