Micron Technology $MU Earnings vol crush setup - market looks mispriced here!

**During earnings season, I have a heavy focus on earnings vol setups, and this one stands out.** **Not because of direction - but because of how volatility is being priced.** **Quick breakdown:** 2DTE ATM Straddle IV: 134.2% Implied move: ±8% Expected Vol Crush: 67.9 (vol points) Vega =$27.59 Vol crush as % of stock price =-4% **What’s interesting** The market is essentially saying: With 68% confidence, the stock will move ±8% But historically: Post-earnings opening gap: min -13.5%, max +18%, mean abs move ±4.9%, std dev 9.3% Adjusting for vol crush: ±14.2% minus -4% vol crush = ±10.2% Therefore, with 68% confidence, historically the stock has moved ±10.2% post crush Current options imply a move of ±8%, or a gap of 2.2% vs historical moves That gap is where things get interesting. **Where most people go wrong** Most traders here will: sell premium because 75% of the time options over estimate earnings induced moves or pick a direction and hope Both approaches ignore the only thing that really matters: Is implied volatility accurately pricing the move? **How I think about it** I’m not trying to predict direction. I’m asking: Is volatility overpriced? Is it underpriced? Or is there no edge at all? Depending on that, the trade changes completely. **My current read** Right now this looks like: →underpriced volatility Which means the better approach is likely: → long vol / structured trade **Curious how others see this** Are you selling this? Buying vol? Staying out? Would be interested in how others are thinking about implied vs realized here.
