The option premium consists of two components: intrinsic value and extrinsic value. Intrinsic value is the difference between the current price of the underlying asset and the strike price of the option, provided the option is in-the-money. Extrinsic value, also known as time value, reflects the potential for future increases in the underlying asset’s price before expiration, as well as factors like volatility and time remaining until expiration. The premium is determined by supply and demand dynamics in the marketplace and can fluctuate based on changes in these factors, along with market conditions.
