What is Max Pain?

Max Pain Level
The option strike at ₹850 represents the theoretical “max‑pain” point for Sona BLW Precision Forgings Limited (SONACOMS). At this level, the combined losses of option writers (both calls and puts) are minimized, creating a magnet that often draws price action as expiry approaches.
Spot vs Max Pain Gap
The current spot price of ₹879.45 sits about 3.46 % above the max‑pain level, indicating a modest upside bias. This positive gap suggests that market participants may be pulling the price toward the strike, yet there remains room for a downward correction toward ₹850.
Shift Signal
The max‑pain figure has shifted upward by ₹50 relative to yesterday, reflecting a recent swing in writer positioning toward higher strikes. Such a move typically signals that option writers are re‑balancing their exposure, potentially increasing support around the new pain point.
Expiry Context
Max‑pain is derived from the aggregate open interest of all strikes and represents a statistical tendency rather than a deterministic outcome. In the final week before the 23 Nov 2026 expiry, prices often gravitate toward this level, but market dynamics, news flow, and liquidity can cause deviations.
Data Note
With 26 days left until expiry, the spot remains ₹29.45 above the max‑pain strike of ₹850.
