How Max Pain Works

Calculation Logic:

  • Call Pain: Sum of (Test Strike - Call Strike) × Call OI for ITM calls
  • Put Pain: Sum of (Put Strike - Test Strike) × Put OI for ITM puts
  • Total Pain: Call Pain + Put Pain
  • Max Pain: Strike with minimum total pain

Trading Implications:

  • • Market tends to drift toward max pain near expiry
  • • Higher OI creates stronger gravitational pull
  • • More relevant for weekly/monthly expiries
  • • Combine with GEX for better analysis

Current Analysis: Max pain is at 0, which is below current price (29450). This suggests downward pressure as expiry approaches.
