At the close on Friday, 23 October 2026, Infosys options were pricing a move of ±₹57.95 by the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry — a range of ₹1,095.85 to ₹1,211.75 against a closing price of ₹1,153.80. The figure is the at-the-money straddle at the ₹1,160 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 ₹1,100, ₹53.80 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 ₹1,140 with 29,02,000 contracts, and the heaviest call position at ₹1,200 with 67,30,800 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 57.06%, against realised volatility of 27.12% over Infosys's last 30 sessions — a spread of +29.94 points. That realised figure sits in the 52nd percentile of the last two years, which ranged from 15.98% to 44.77%. Both figures are stated as measured; what they imply about whether options are worth buying or writing is a judgement for the reader, not this page.
This page is a record of where Infosys'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.
