When Does an OTM Put Option Gain Intrinsic Value?

An out-of-the-money (OTM) put option gains intrinsic value when the price of the underlying asset falls below the option's strike price. The intrinsic value begins to accrue as the asset price drops further below the strike, making the right to sell at the higher strike price profitable.
