Open interest map

Call vs put OI by expiry

2026-07-24D-3focus0 / 466Σ 466

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.

Max Pain

Neutral

Spot $133.21Max Pain $131.00 · 1.7% below

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

GILD's Max Pain for the 2026-07-24 expiry is $131.0, 1.7% below the current price. As expiration nears (D-3), dealer hedging flows may exert pressure toward this level. Confidence is higher near expiration.
