Does IV Affect the Intrinsic Value of an Option?

No, implied volatility (IV) does not directly affect the intrinsic value of an option. Intrinsic value is purely a function of the underlying asset's current price and the option's strike price.

IV only affects the time value (extrinsic value) component of the option's premium.
