What call and put options are

Call — a contract that gains value if the stock rises above the strike by expiry. Heavy call open interest means many contracts are still open on that upside side.

Put — a contract that gains value if the stock falls below the strike by expiry. Heavy put open interest means many contracts are still open on that downside side.

Open interest is outstanding contracts, not a buy/sell recommendation. Color bars here only show how that interest is split.

S = spot · M = max pain · gap is educational distance, not a target

COIN's Max Pain for the 2026-07-24 expiry is $160.0, 0.3% below the current price. As expiration nears (D-3), dealer hedging flows may exert pressure toward this level. Confidence is higher near expiration.

What this doesn't tell you

Does not incorporate news or earnings surprises. Reliability falls with low open interest or distant expiries.

Crowding can reverse; extreme readings are sometimes read contrarian.

What it is

  • Rule-based readings of public options and short-interest data
  • The same thresholds applied across the fixed 200-name universe
  • An educational starting point that shows its math and limits

What it isn't

  • Buy/sell recommendations or price predictions
  • Real-time short interest (FINRA publishes biweekly)
  • A substitute for your own research or a licensed adviser

Options carry significant risk, including the potential loss of the entire amount invested. Short selling can involve unlimited loss potential. For methods and thresholds see Methodology. — Asset Trend Reports Team
