How Does the Stock Price Affect the ITM Status of a Call Option?

The stock price is the primary determinant of whether a Call Option is In The Money (ITM). If the stock price rises above the option's strike price, the call option becomes ITM and gains intrinsic value.

If the stock price falls below the strike price, the option becomes Out of The Money (OTM) and loses its intrinsic value.
