Energy Select Maximum Pain Price Across 2025-09-30 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 Energy Select close to expiration to expire worthless. 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, Energy Select's option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.
Energy Select's stock options are financial instruments that give investors the right to buy or sell shares of Energy Select Sector common stock at a specified price for a given time period.

Energy Select Sector In The Money Call Balance

When Energy Select's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Energy Select Sector stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Energy Select's options that are 'In the Money' or 'Out of the Money', the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on Energy Select Sector are typically viewed as the more aggressive, there are potential upsides to purchasing these types of options contracts. For one, the cost to buy an 'Out of the Money' option is lower than the cost to buy an 'In the Money' option. This cost-benefit is due to the fact that at the time of the purchase, 'Out of the Money' contracts have no intrinsic value. So, while the potential for a 100% loss is more significant, the cost and risk to enter the trade are lower.
