Reading the XLRE expected move table

Each row is one expiry. The shaded band is the one-standard-deviation range the option chain implies for XLRE on that date: the market gives roughly a two-in-three chance that XLRE closes inside it and a one-in-three chance it closes outside. The black tick is the last traded price, 41.71. The diamond is max pain, the strike where option holders would collect the least if the stock settled there.

The range widens with time because uncertainty compounds with the square root of time: the 2027-May-21 range (±25.29%) is wider than the 2026-Oct-16 range (±2.83%) even though the daily volatility behind both is the same.
