Max pain occurs when Groupon's market makers reach a net positive position across all Groupon'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 Groupon

Analyzing Groupon's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Groupon regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Groupon's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Groupon's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Groupon's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on Groupon lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Groupon'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 Groupon 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 Groupon Stock moves the wrong way.

Groupon In The Money Call Balance

When Groupon's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Groupon stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Groupon'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 Groupon 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.

Groupon Current Options Market Mood

Groupon's open interest and total value indicators provide investors with the necessary information to digest the overall options buildup for its expiring contracts.

Rule 16 of the current Groupon contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Groupon will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0556% per day over the life of the 2025-06-20 option contract. With Groupon trading at USD 15.98, that is roughly USD 0.008889. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Groupon's daily price movement you should consider buying Groupon options at the current volatility level of 0.89%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing Groupon 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" Groupon calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Groupon stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

The market value of Groupon is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Groupon that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Groupon's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Groupon'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 Groupon's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Groupon'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 Groupon's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Groupon is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Groupon'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.
