What is max pain?

Max pain is the strike at which the total payout to option buyers is lowest at expiry — so buyers collectively lose the most and writers gain the most. Because option writers hedge their positions, price often drifts toward max pain as expiry approaches. It's a structural tendency, strongest in calm, range-bound conditions and in the final days before expiry — not a guarantee, and it breaks down on trending or news-driven days.

How to use this page

  • Compare spot vs max pain — a large gap near expiry flags the "pull" toward max pain.
  • Read it with the call wall (resistance) and put wall (support) for the likely range.
  • Use PCR as a relative sentiment gauge, not an absolute trigger.
