What Does It Mean for an Option to Be ‘In-the-Money’ (ITM)?
An option is 'in-the-money' (ITM) if exercising it immediately would result in a positive payoff. For a call option, this means the underlying asset's market price is higher than the strike price.
For a put option, the market price is lower than the strike price. An ITM option has intrinsic value, which is the amount by which it is in-the-money.
