Max Pain Level

The strike where option writers would incur the smallest aggregate loss sits at ₹275. This level acts as a magnetic point that can attract the underlying price as expiry approaches, because writers benefit from the convergence of spot and their short positions.

Spot vs Max Pain Gap

The current spot of ₹263.6 sits about 4.15 % below the ₹275 pain point, indicating a modest upside pull‑back pressure. Should market participants favor a rally, the gap may narrow as the underlying gravitates toward the pain zone.

Shift Signal

The pain level has moved downward by 10 points from yesterday, suggesting that option writers have recently re‑positioned their short strikes lower, perhaps in response to recent bearish sentiment. This downward shift can reinforce support around the new pain tier, potentially anchoring price action nearer to the revised level.

Expiry Context

Max pain reflects the aggregate strike where option writers face the least loss, derived from the open interest of both calls and puts. In the week preceding expiry, it often becomes a reference point, but it remains a tendency rather than a deterministic outcome; market forces, news flow, and liquidity can still drive the spot away from this zone.

Data Note

With 26 days left until the November 23 expiry, the spot sits roughly ₹11.4 below the current pain point.
