The six inputs that determine an option's value are stock price, strike price, time to expiration, interest rate, dividend yield and volatility. If the call option has gone down while the stock went up, then one of the other factors must have changed. The passage of time can push an option's value lower. The real wild card is implied volatility. Sometimes it drops sharply after anticipated market events.
