At the close on Friday, 23 October 2026, ICICI Bank options were pricing a move of ±₹20.35 by the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry — a range of ₹1,373.85 to ₹1,414.55 against a closing price of ₹1,394.20. The figure is the at-the-money straddle at the ₹1,390 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 ₹1,360, ₹34.20 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 ₹1,400 with 23,94,700 contracts, and the heaviest call position at ₹1,400 with 44,46,400 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 17.27% for the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry. Realised volatility for ICICI Bank is not yet available for comparison.

This page is a record of where ICICI Bank'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.
