Amazon Maximum Pain Price across 2024-06-14 Option Contracts
Max pain usually refers to a trading concept that asserts that market manipulation can cause the market price of particular securities such as Amazon close to expiration to expire worthless. According to most research, approximately 10% to 15% of all stock options are exercised, while about 35% expire worthlessly, with roughly 50% traded out before the expiration date. So, Max pain occurs when market makers reach a net positive position across all options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, 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 Amazon lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Amazon'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 Amazon 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 Amazon Stock moves the wrong way.
