Nasdaq Maximum Pain Price Across 2025-06-20 Option Contracts

Max pain occurs when Nasdaq's market makers reach a net positive position across all Nasdaq's options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, Nasdaq's option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.

In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Nasdaq

Analyzing Nasdaq's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Nasdaq regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Nasdaq's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Nasdaq's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Nasdaq's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.

Nasdaq Inc In The Money Call Balance

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

Nasdaq Current Options Market Mood

Nasdaq'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 Nasdaq 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 Open Interest

Put-to-Call Volume

Unfortunately, most Nasdaq's options investors are not very successful. Nasdaq'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 Nasdaq contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Nasdaq Inc will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.025% per day over the life of the 2025-06-20 option contract. With Nasdaq trading at USD 75.3, that is roughly USD 0.0188. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Nasdaq's daily price movement you should consider buying Nasdaq Inc options at the current volatility level of 0.4%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing Nasdaq 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" Nasdaq calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Nasdaq Inc stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

Nasdaq Option Chain

When Nasdaq's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Nasdaq Inc stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying options that are ITM or OTM, the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
