INFY Options Chain — Open Interest, Implied Volatility, Max Pain & Gamma Exposure
Analyze the complete INFY options chain including strike-level open interest, real-time implied volatility (IV), max pain levels, gamma exposure, dealer positioning, and options flow trends. This dashboard provides data-driven insights for traders building directional or hedging strategies around INFY.
Dealer–Gamma Regime
A combined view of INFY’s total gamma exposure (GEX) and Dealer Position Index (DPI). This helps identify whether dealer hedging flows support mean reversion or trend continuation in the current options market.
In a long gamma regime, dealers hedge against price moves, strengthening mean reversion and suppressing volatility.
A Strong Net Short Options profile indicates how dealers hedge daily flows, influencing whether trends extend or revert.
Price moves may extend once a direction forms.
The short-term gamma flip is near 18.88 , with intermediate positioning around 18.88 . The mid-term gamma flip remains near 18.88.
With Long Gamma and a bearish DPI trend , the current setup favors Mean Reversion Zone .
Dealer hedging flows interact with gamma positioning to form short-term volatility regimes. Stronger directional movement is more likely when gamma is short or unstable.
The options market shows a strong bullish alignment. Multiple key factors point firmly to the upside, supported by dealer flows and positioning. A strong confidence score reflects high directional consensus—or, in the case of neutral bias, a stable volatility regime.
Put-Side Positioning Insight
Looking only at the put-side activity, there is a
bearish directional push.
This suggests some traders are actively betting on downside.
Confidence: 60%
Important intraday and swing-trading price levels derived from max pain, open interest distribution, and gamma positioning. These price levels are derived from Max Pain analysis, gamma exposure trends, and open interest dynamics, which are crucial factors for assessing market sentiment and potential price movements. Traders can use the support and resistance levels to identify key price zones for entry or exit points, while the pivot point serves as an important reference for gauging trend direction.
Bullish flow suggests upside interest toward 20.08 (8.14% above spot).
Bearish positioning points to downside pressure toward 17.55 (5.47% below spot).
Options flow strength: 0.93 (0–1 scale).
ATM Strike: 19.00, Call: 0.75, Put: 1.27, Straddle Cost: 2.02.
Estimated using ATM implied volatility, OTM option flow, and dealer hedging conditions to capture the market-implied price range.

1. Core Volatility Signal (2.23% Standardized 1-Day Move)
“The ATM straddle implies a standardized 1-day move of
2.23%.”
This means:
- Implied volatility is high.
- The market is expecting sizable price swings.
- Risk perception is elevated across option flows.
📌 Plain interpretation: Traders are paying for protection — volatility is meaningfully elevated.
2. Expected Price Range (Next 24 Days)
The options market is pricing the following risk range:
17.86 – 19.58
Upper: +5.47%
•
Lower: -3.80%
🔺 Bullish Skew — upside potential outweighs downside risk.
3. Bullish Flow vs Bearish Flow
▶ Bullish Flow
Upside interest clusters near
20.08
(8.14% above spot).
This region may act as short-term resistance.
▶ Bearish Flow
Downside pressure clusters near
17.55
(5.47% below spot).
This is a downside “magnet zone” where put demand concentrates.
4. Flow Strength: 0.93
Flow strength is extremely high — option activity is concentrated and meaningful. This indicates that today's option flows represent strong, non-random positioning (likely institutional).
5. ATM Straddle Cost
The ATM straddle costs 2.02 (10.90% of spot).
⚠️ Extremely high volatility premium — the market is bracing for a major event.
🔥 Professional Summary
1️⃣ The options market leans toward upside potential.
2️⃣ Implied volatility is high — the market expects significant movement.
3️⃣ Call activity dominates — traders position for upside moves.
4️⃣ FlowStrength 0.93 reflects concentrated, high-confidence positioning.

The insights are generated by an AI-driven options analysis model. We strongly recommend interpreting the data in the context of your own judgment and market understanding.
DPI Trend Index
Dealer Position Index (DPI) tracks how options dealers are positioned.
Rising DPI → dealers long options (mean reversion).
Falling DPI → dealers short options (trend amplification).
DPI does not predict direction. It only answers one question:
once price moves, will the market reinforce that move?
DPI reflects the direction and strength of dealer gamma exposure — not a bullish or bearish call.
Latest Trend Interpretation:
Gamma Exposure & Expiry Risk Zones
Gamma Exposure (GEX) defines how option dealer hedging interacts with price moves. Large expiries can sharply alter hedging pressure and trigger volatility shifts.
Market GEX vs Price History
Aggregate gamma exposure plotted with underlying price. Sharp GEX declines or flip-zone tests often precede increased volatility.
