Average implied volatility across the listed chain right now: 254%. Implied volatility measures how big a price swing the options market is pricing in — there is no fixed “normal” level, it varies a lot by stock.
Nearest listed expiry only. Calls above the line, puts below — clusters mark strikes where the market has built up the most open positions.
The “volatility smile”: strikes far from the current price often price in richer implied volatility than at-the-money strikes.

Open interest = contracts currently outstanding (not yet closed out). Higher open interest generally means a strike/expiry is more actively traded and easier to get in and out of.
