What Is the Typical Delta Range for a Deep In-The-Money Call Option?

The Delta for a deep In-The-Money (ITM) call option is typically close to 1.0. This means the option price will move nearly dollar-for-dollar with the underlying asset price.

The option behaves almost exactly like holding the underlying asset itself, indicating a very high probability of being exercised or expiring ITM.
