What Is an “In-the-Money” Option?

An option is "in-the-money" (ITM) if exercising it immediately would result in a profit. For a call option, the underlying asset's price must be higher than the strike price.

For a put option, the underlying asset's price must be lower than the strike price. ITM options have intrinsic value.
