When compared to a stock&#8217;s price action, it can give traders a better sense of how a stock may perform in the short term. An asset is typically considered oversold when the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rsi"> RSI is below 30</a>, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.</p>

<p>Investors in <strong>Ardmore Shipping Corporation </strong>(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/asc#NYSE">ASC</a>) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Sep 20, 2024 $10 Put had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.</p>
<h2>What is Implied Volatility?</h2>
<p>Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.</p>
<h2>What do the Analysts Think?</h2>
<p>Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Ardmore Shipping shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Ardmore Shipping is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Transportation - Shipping industry that ranks in the Bottom 39% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 30 days, two analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while none dropped the estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 63 cents per share to 80 cents in that period.</p>
<p>Given the way analysts feel about Ardmore Shipping right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there&#39;s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.</p>
