Define ‘Out-of-the-Money’ (OTM) for a Put Option.

A put option is 'out-of-the-money' (OTM) when the underlying asset's current market price is above the option's strike price. In this scenario, exercising the right to sell at the strike price would result in a loss compared to selling at the higher market price, so the option has no intrinsic value.
