At the close on Friday, 23 October 2026, Union Bank of India options were pricing a move of ±₹3.81 by the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry — a range of ₹175.09 to ₹182.71 against a closing price of ₹178.90. The figure is the at-the-money straddle at the ₹180 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 ₹175, ₹3.90 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 ₹170 with 36,63,900 contracts, and the heaviest call position at ₹185 with 48,58,650 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 23.93% for the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry. Realised volatility for Union Bank of India is not yet available for comparison.

This page is a record of where Union Bank of India's chain finished on Friday, 23 October 2026, not a live feed — the next reading follows tomorrow's close.
