Description

An option with a strike price equal to the current price of the underlying asset.

An option is “at the money” when its strike price matches the current market price of the underlying asset. This condition is critical for options traders, as it represents a point of equilibrium where the option has no intrinsic value, influencing decisions on whether to exercise, sell, or let expire.
