Humana Maximum Pain Price Across 2025-03-21 Option Contracts

Max pain occurs when Humana's market makers reach a net positive position across all Humana's options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, Humana's 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 Humana lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Humana'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 Humana 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 Humana Etf moves the wrong way.

Humana Inc In The Money Call Balance

When Humana's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Humana Inc stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Humana'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 Humana Inc 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.

Humana Current Options Market Mood

Humana's open interest and total value indicators provide investors with the necessary information to digest the overall options buildup for its expiring contracts. In addition, it helps Humana Etf's traders understand whether a recent fall or rise in the market is unreasonable and if the time has come to take contrarian positions. These ratios are calculated based on options trading volumes and current open interest.

Put-to-Call Open Interest

Put-to-Call Volume

Unfortunately, most Humana's options investors are not very successful. Humana's option open interest and volume spread between outstanding puts and calls are regarded by many investors as reliable indicators of the overall future market direction.

Rule 16 of the current Humana contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Humana Inc will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.04% per day over the life of the 2025-03-21 option contract. With Humana trading at USD 296.56, that is roughly USD 0.12. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Humana's daily price movement you should consider buying Humana Inc options at the current volatility level of 0.64%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
