IShares Russell Maximum Pain Price Across 2025-01-08 Option Contracts
Max pain occurs when IShares Russell's market makers reach a net positive position across all IShares Russell's options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, IShares Russell's option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on IShares Russell lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if IShares Russell'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 IShares Russell 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 IShares Etf moves the wrong way.
