SOURCE EVIDENCE

"the volatility skew for the Aug. 28 expiration date — just two days after Nvidia's Q2 report — is any indication, the picture is much more nuanced. Essentially, the shape of the skew is that of a 'smirk' — options traders are not only paying an elevated implied volatility (IV) premium for out-the-money (OTM) puts but the more OTM the puts are, the greater the IV."
