At the close on Friday, 23 October 2026, Blue Star options were pricing a move of ±₹28.70 by the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry — a range of ₹1,470.30 to ₹1,527.70 against a closing price of ₹1,499.00. The figure is the at-the-money straddle at the ₹1,500 strike, which is what the options market itself is charging for the move to expiry. It describes the price of that expectation, not a forecast MarketCue makes.

Max pain sits at ₹1,520, ₹21.00 above the closing price — the strike at which the largest value of written options would expire worthless. The heaviest put position on the chain is at ₹1,420 with 90,350 contracts, and the heaviest call position at ₹1,620 with 1,99,550 contracts. Open interest describes where positions have been built; it is not a commitment by anyone to defend a price.

At-the-money implied volatility was 22.95% for the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry. Realised volatility for Blue Star is not yet available for comparison.

This page is a record of where Blue Star's chain finished on Friday, 23 October 2026, not a live feed — the next reading follows tomorrow's close. Figures are derived from the NSE option chain via Upstox; max pain, the implied move, put-call ratio and the volatility comparison are MarketCue's own calculations from that data.
