Max Pain Level
The current max‑pain strike sits at ₹940, the point where option writers would incur the smallest aggregate loss if all contracts expire worthless. As expiry approaches, the underlying price often gravitates toward this “magnet” because market participants hedge to that level.

The spot price of ₹928.9 trades 1.18 % below the max‑pain level, indicating a modest upside gap. If the underlying drifts upward, the gap narrows, suggesting a pull‑back toward the ₹940 magnet.
Shift Signal
The max‑pain figure has moved ₹20 lower from yesterday, a downward shift that reflects writers adjusting their hedges toward a lower strike. This repositioning can reinforce support near the new max‑pain level as positions unwind.
Expiry Context
Max pain is derived from the net open interest of all call and put strikes, identifying the price that minimizes the total premium loss for option writers at expiry. In the final week before expiry, price action frequently clusters around this strike, though it remains a statistical tendency, not a deterministic outcome.
Data Note
With 25 days to the September 29 expiry, the spot sits ₹11.1 beneath the max‑pain strike of ₹940, leaving a short window for the price to converge.
