What is Option Chain?

The option chain is a matrix where we analyze which call or put strike price trading is happening, open interest, premium, and average prices of the particular instrument of the particular series are shown on one page.

How to analyze Option Chain?

Whenever you want to see the options chain of a particular instrument you need to go to the NSE website or StockEdge:

We can see the expiry series; one should note that weekly and monthly expiries are available for Nifty and Bank Nifty.

When we come below we can see on the option chain table are Call and Put written.

The buyer of the call has the right but does not have an obligation to buy the contract. If the price goes above the strike price, then the call’s buyer will profit. If the price goes below the strike price, then the loss will equal the premium paid.

Similarly, Puts are the right to sell an asset but do not have an obligation to do so at a particular strike price. If the price goes below the strike price, then the put buyer will profit. If the price goes above the strike price, the loss will equal the premium paid.

Then we can see the open interest, volume, LTP, and strike price of both call and put options which are important parameters to depict the option chain.

How to analyze the Option Chain of Nifty or Bank Nifty Option Chain Open Interest?

From all the data, the open interest is the most important column in the options chain as we need to analyze it from the seller’s perspective.

Open Interest means the number of contracts that are open for trading.

One should notice the strike price in which the open interest is maximum.

How to check the Bank Nifty Option Chain Open Interest?

We can see from the above screen of option chain that at the strike price of 16,000 the open interest is maximum.

As we can see in the option chain of Nifty that the change in the open interest is negative, we can determine that the option buyer is incurring a loss at that strike price, and the options seller is making a profit.

We need to see the average price, so we click on the LTP.

Checking the average price or VWAP

We can see at the average price i.e. VWAP OF Rs. 25 which means that till this price the options sellers were aggressively selling.

So we can say that 11325, i.e. strike price+ VWAP will be the strong resistance.

Now let us go to the daily chart of Nifty, from where we can see that 11,300 is an important low psychological level.

We can also see that the market broke the level of 11,300 to the downside and call writers became aggressive.

Now at the same strike price, we need to see what put writers are doing are supporting 11,300 or not.

For this, we can go back to the option chain and see that the put writers had cut their position at the same strike price.

Now let us go to the 15-minute chart of Nifty to determine when the put writers cut their position.

We can see at the beginning of the trading session only, that prices fell and broke the 11,300 level, the buying again came but wasn’t able to cross that price.

So level 11,325 is an important level for the call writers for tomorrow’s expiry.

If the market does not sustain above 11, 325 then there will be more of bears’ grip.

So we can conclude that if we combine the chart with the option chain study then we can get a different level of conviction.

Bottomline
