Max Pain Level
The options market currently points to a ₹7,700 strike as the “max pain” level for Eicher Motors Limited (EICHERMOT). Max pain is the strike at which option writers—who are short calls and puts—would incur the smallest aggregate loss, and it often acts as a magnet as expiry approaches.
Spot vs Max Pain Gap
The spot price of ₹7,630.5 sits about 0.9 % below the max‑pain strike, indicating a modest upside bias for the underlying. If the market respects the max‑pain magnet, we may see a pull‑up of the spot toward ₹7,700 in the days ahead.
Shift Signal
The max‑pain level has shifted down by ₹100 from yesterday, suggesting that writers are recalibrating their exposure toward a slightly lower strike. This downward move may reflect a growing confidence among option writers that the underlying will not climb far above the current spot.
Expiry Context
Max pain emerges from the net open interest of all outstanding strikes; at expiry, the strike that forces the greatest number of out‑of‑the‑money options to expire leaves writers with the least payout. Historically, the week of expiry often shows the underlying price gravitating toward the max‑pain strike, though this is a statistical tendency rather than a deterministic outcome.
Data Note
The spot price is currently ₹69.5 below the max‑pain level, with 25 days remaining until the September 29 expiry.
