Out of the Money (OTM) is a term used to describe an options contract that currently holds no intrinsic value. Specifically, a call option is OTM if the strike price is higher than the current market value of the underlying asset, whereas a put option is OTM if the strike price is lower than the current market value of the underlying asset.
The strike price, also known as the exercise price, is the predetermined price at which the owner of an option can buy or sell the underlying asset before or at the expiration date.
