Max pain (or the max pain price) is the strike price at which the highest value of open option contracts—both puts and calls—expire worthless, leading to maximum losses for option holders.

The Max Pain Theory suggests that a stock’s price tends to gravitate toward this level as expiration approaches, influenced by market forces, particularly options writers aiming to minimize their losses and maximize profits. While not a guaranteed predictor, the max pain price offers valuable insight into potential price movements.
