At the close on Friday, 23 October 2026, BSE options were pricing a move of ±₹73.05 by the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry — a range of ₹3,157.75 to ₹3,303.85 against a closing price of ₹3,230.80. The figure is the at-the-money straddle at the ₹3,250 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 ₹3,200, ₹30.80 below 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 ₹3,000 with 15,35,200 contracts, and the heaviest call position at ₹3,400 with 11,96,400 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 26.16% for the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry. Realised volatility for BSE is not yet available for comparison.
