In a nutshell, if UnitedHealth Group's implied volatility is high, the market thinks the stock has potential for high price swings in either direction. On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that UnitedHealth Group stock will not fluctuate a lot when UnitedHealth Group's options are near their expiration.

On the other hand, investors will often sell stocks at prices well below their value during bear markets because they need to stop feeling the pain of losing money.
