What is Max Pain?

Max Pain Level
The current max‑pain strike for Aditya Birla Capital Limited (ABCAPITAL) is ₹400. This is the strike at which option writers would incur the smallest aggregate loss, acting as a magnet that often draws the underlying price toward it as expiry approaches.
Spot vs Max Pain Gap
The spot price of ₹404.9 sits about 1.22 % above the max‑pain level, indicating a modest upside bias. Should the market pull back toward ₹400, the price would close the gap, which typically benefits option writers and reduces the chance of large settlement losses for them.
Shift Signal
The max‑pain strike shows no shift from the previous day, suggesting stable positioning among option writers. With the strike unchanged, writers appear comfortable keeping their current exposure, implying no significant re‑balancing of hedges near the deadline.
Expiry Context
Max pain is derived from the net open interest of all strikes, reflecting where the total premium payout to option holders is minimized for writers. In the week leading to expiration, the underlying often gravitates toward this level, though it remains a statistical tendency rather than a certainty.
Data Note
The spot price sits ₹4.9 above the max‑pain strike with 25 days remaining until the September 29 expiry.
