Why Does a Higher Strike Reduce the Call Option’s Intrinsic Value?
A higher strike price reduces a call option's intrinsic value because intrinsic value is the difference between the underlying price and the strike price. A higher strike means the underlying price has to rise further to be ITM, or the ITM amount is smaller.
