IV Rank measures where the current implied volatility sits relative to its range over the past year. A rank of 80% means IV is in the top 20% of its annual range — ideal for selling premium.

What's the difference between IV Rank and IV Percentile?

IV Rank compares the current IV to the high and low over the past year (linear scale). IV Percentile counts the percentage of days IV was lower than today. IV Rank is better for spotting extremes; IV Percentile is better for gauging how unusual current levels are.

How do I use the scanner?

The scanner page shows all tracked stocks ranked by IV rank. You can sort by any column, filter by sector, and search for specific symbols. High IV Rank stocks (80+) are great candidates for premium-selling strategies.

Where does the data come from?

We pull options data from major exchanges via institutional-grade data feeds, with quotes updated throughout the trading day.

What plans do you offer?

We have three plans: Free ($0 — full IV scanner, sector heatmap, 10 watchlist symbols, 500 API calls/month), Pro ($49/mo or $470/yr — flow alerts, earnings analysis, short pressure scanner, GEX/DEX, CSV export, API access, 50 watchlist symbols), and Premium ($149/mo or $1,430/yr — everything in Pro plus live streaming, custom alert rules, dark pool flow, unlimited watchlist, bulk API).

How does billing work?

We offer monthly and yearly billing via Stripe. Yearly plans save you roughly two months. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time from your billing settings. No long-term contracts.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from Dashboard > Settings > Billing. You keep access through the end of your current billing period. No cancellation fees.

Do you offer refunds?

We don't offer automatic refunds, but if you're unhappy within the first 7 days, email support@voledge.io and we'll work it out.

What is unusual options flow?

Unusual flow flags options orders where volume significantly exceeds open interest, or where the trade size is abnormally large. These can signal institutional or 'smart money' positioning. Available on the Flow page for Pro and Premium users.

How do I export data as CSV?

On the Scanner or Flow page, click the 'Export CSV' button in the top-right toolbar. This downloads the current filtered view. CSV export requires a Pro or Premium plan.

Can I set custom alerts?

Pro users can set IV rank threshold alerts on watchlist symbols. Premium users get a full rule builder with multi-condition alerts (e.g., IV Rank > 80 AND volume > 10,000). Manage alerts from the Watchlist page.

Yes! Pro and Premium plans include API access for programmatic data retrieval. Create an API key in Dashboard > Settings > API Keys. See our docs for endpoints, rate limits, and examples.

What is the earnings IV crush analysis?

The Earnings page shows upcoming earnings with current IV, estimated move, and historical IV crush data. IV crush is the sharp drop in implied volatility after an earnings announcement — knowing the typical crush helps you size trades correctly.

How does the Short Pressure Scanner work?

We estimate daily short interest by combining FINRA short volume reports, bi-monthly FINRA SI snapshots, and SEC Fails-to-Deliver data. A calibrated cover rate model interpolates between official reports to give you a daily estimate. The composite Short Pressure Score (0-100) weights SI%, short volume ratio, days to cover, FTD momentum, and put flow bias. Stocks scoring 80+ with SI above 15% are flagged as squeeze candidates.

How often is data updated?

Scanner data refreshes every 5 minutes during market hours. Options flow updates every 3 minutes. Premium users with live streaming get updates every 15 seconds.

Which browsers are supported?

VolEdge works in all modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend Chrome or Firefox for the best experience. Mobile browsers are fully supported.

**Title:** High [IV Rank screener](https://voledge.io/iv-rank) Stocks Today: Tech Rips Into a Positive-Gamma Tape

# High IV Rank Stocks Today: Tech Rips Into a Positive-Gamma Tape

*Tue, Apr 14, 2026*

**ORCL** jumped +13.9% intraday in a session that printed 45 advancers against 3 decliners and Technology up +4.29%. The high IV rank stocks today cluster in names that actually moved — a momentum-driven tape pressing against heavy positive dealer gamma, and the question before the open is whether the call walls hold or break.

## Market Volatility Regime: VIX and Term Structure

No fresh VIX today print is in this snapshot, so the regime read comes from gamma structure and cross-market implied volatility rank. The cross-section average IV Rank sits at 41 — middle of the range — with 13 names above IV Rank 50 on the VolEdge [IV rank screener](/tools/iv-rank-screener). That's not a stressed surface.

Gamma is where the signal lives. SPY total [GEX dashboard](https://voledge.io/dashboard/gex) is +$235B, QQQ +$91B, NVDA +$90B — all strongly positive. Dealers are long gamma, which means hedging flows dampen moves and price tends to pin toward high-gamma strikes. The tension today is bullish breadth pressing against that pin.

## Top IV Rank Setups Today

**NOW** tops today's options volatility screener at IV Rank 69 with 30-day IV of 70.7%. Outside of an [earnings calendar](https://voledge.io/dashboard/earnings) print, NOW rarely carries this level of elevated implied volatility — premium is rich relative to its own 12-month distribution, which is the environment defined-risk premium sellers watch for.

**SNAP** and **DASH** tie at IV Rank 62. SNAP's 90.0% IV is the highest absolute reading on the board, consistent with its history of pricing large expected moves. DASH at 65.5% IV is up +5.0% on the session, so the elevated rank is being earned by realized movement — a different setup from a premium-stuffed name. Both screen as stocks with high implied volatility for different reasons.

**MSFT** at IV Rank 60 is the most unusual line. The absolute IV of 42.3% is modest, but it sits in the top quartile of MSFT's own distribution, with the stock up +3.7% today. Cross-reference with the [earnings calendar](/tools/earnings-calendar) before taking a directional vol view.

**AFRM** rounds out the setups at IV Rank 59 with 86.0% IV and a +7.4% session. Like DASH, the rank is being driven by realized movement, not premium compression.

## GEX Regime and Key Levels

GEX levels today frame tight ranges across the major underlyings. SPY shows a call wall at 687 and put wall at 680 — a 7-point defended band. QQQ concentrates at a 620 call wall with the flip strike at 619. **NVDA** prints both walls at 190 with $90B of gamma anchored there. TSLA's 345 flip and 355 call wall frame the near-term range. Live data is on the [GEX dashboard](/tools/gex-dashboard).

## What to Watch Today

Two questions: whether SPY can push through the 687 call wall — a clean break flips dealer hedging from dampening to amplifying — and whether the high-IV-rank cluster continues to concentrate in consumer-discretionary and software names. Bullish breadth into positive gamma usually compresses to drift; a failed breakout here would validate the mean-reverting regime.
