City Holding Maximum Pain Price Across 2025-01-17 Option Contracts

Max pain occurs when City Holding's market makers reach a net positive position across all City Holding's options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money.

In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on City Holding

Analyzing City Holding's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in City Holding regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when City Holding's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money City Holding's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with City Holding's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on City Holding lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if City Holding's value remains static through the expiration date, the investor can sell to close an 'in-the-money' option to avoid a potential loss. However, in-the-money City Holding contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts. So keep in mind that while the payoffs on an in-the-money trade can be high, the investors could ultimately experience a more consequential loss if City Stock moves the wrong way.

City Holding In The Money Call Balance

When City Holding's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against City Holding stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying City Holding's options that are 'In the Money' or 'Out of the Money', the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on City Holding are typically viewed as the more aggressive, there are potential upsides to purchasing these types of options contracts. For one, the cost to buy an 'Out of the Money' option is lower than the cost to buy an 'In the Money' option. This cost-benefit is due to the fact that at the time of the purchase, 'Out of the Money' contracts have no intrinsic value. So, while the potential for a 100% loss is more significant, the cost and risk to enter the trade are lower.

City Current Options Market Mood

City Holding's open interest and total value indicators provide investors with the necessary information to digest the overall options buildup for its expiring contracts. In addition, it helps City Stock's traders understand whether a recent fall or rise in the market is unreasonable and if the time has come to take contrarian positions. These ratios are calculated based on options trading volumes and current open interest.

Put-to-Call Volume

Unfortunately, most City Holding's options investors are not very successful. City Holding's option open interest and volume spread between outstanding puts and calls are regarded by many investors as reliable indicators of the overall future market direction.

Rule 16 of the current City contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that City Holding will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.02% per day over the life of the 2025-01-17 option contract. With City Holding trading at USD 118.82, that is roughly USD 0.0238. If you think that the market is fully incorporating City Holding's daily price movement you should consider buying City Holding options at the current volatility level of 0.32%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing City Holding options can give investors a meaningful hedge against losses and, therefore, could be used conservatively to decrease the volatility of your portfolio. However, many options could also amount to little more than gambling, significantly enhancing your overall portfolio risk. One simple example of these aggressive strategies is the sale of "uncovered" City calls. Remember, the seller must deliver City Holding stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

City Holding Option Chain

When City Holding's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against City Holding stock is said to be in the money.

The market value of City Holding is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of City that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of City Holding's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is City Holding's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because City Holding's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect City Holding's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between City Holding's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if City Holding is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, City Holding's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
