What Is the Relationship between Implied Volatility and Option Premium?

Implied volatility (IV) is directly and positively correlated with an option's premium (price). Higher IV reflects greater market expectation of large price movements, increasing the probability that the option will expire in-the-money.

This increased probability of profit makes the option more valuable, leading to a higher premium.
