At the close on Friday, 23 October 2026, Policybazaar options were pricing a move of ±₹30.05 by the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry — a range of ₹984.95 to ₹1,045.05 against a closing price of ₹1,015.00. The figure is the at-the-money straddle at the ₹1,020 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, ₹85.00 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 ₹900 with 8,78,150 contracts, and the heaviest call position at ₹1,100 with 22,21,100 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 35.16% for the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry. Realised volatility for Policybazaar is not yet available for comparison.

This page is a record of where Policybazaar'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.
