NVIDIA Maximum Pain Price Across 2026-05-15 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 NVIDIA 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, NVIDIA's option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.
In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on NVIDIA
Analyzing NVIDIA's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in NVIDIA regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when NVIDIA's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money NVIDIA's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with NVIDIA's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
NVIDIA's stock options are financial instruments that give investors the right to buy or sell shares of NVIDIA common stock at a specified price for a given time period. Generally speaking, an option to purchase or sell NVIDIA stock makes it part of the underlying stock when the option's price is tied to the movement of the underlying stock. If NVIDIA's stock price goes up or down, the stock options follow.
At present, NVIDIA's Total Stockholder Equity is projected to increase significantly based on the last few years of reporting. The current year's Liabilities And Stockholders Equity is expected to grow to about 134.8 B, whereas Common Stock Shares Outstanding is forecasted to decline to about 25 B. NVIDIA In The Money Call Balance
When NVIDIA's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against NVIDIA stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying NVIDIA'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 NVIDIA 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.
NVIDIA Current Options Market Mood
NVIDIA'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 NVIDIA Stock'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
Most options investors, including buyers and sellers of NVIDIA's calls and puts, are not very successful. It is estimated that an average options trader loses somewhere between 80% to 90% of the time. NVIDIA'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 NVIDIA contract
Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that NVIDIA will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.045% per day over the life of the 2026-05-15 option contract. With NVIDIA trading at USD 182.81, that is roughly USD 0.0823. If you think that the market is fully incorporating NVIDIA's daily price movement you should consider buying NVIDIA options at the current volatility level of 0.72%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
Purchasing NVIDIA options can give investors a meaningful hedge against losses and, therefore, could be used conservatively to decrease the volatility of your portfolio. However, many options could also amount to little more than gambling, significantly enhancing your overall portfolio risk. One simple example of these aggressive strategies is the sale of "uncovered" NVIDIA calls. Remember, the seller must deliver NVIDIA stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.
NVIDIA Option Chain
When NVIDIA's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against NVIDIA stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying options that are ITM or OTM, the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.

Understanding NVIDIA requires distinguishing between market price and book value, where the latter reflects NVIDIA's accounting equity. The concept of intrinsic value - what NVIDIA's is actually worth based on fundamentals - guides informed investors toward better entry and exit points. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Market sentiment, economic cycles, and investor behavior can push NVIDIA's price substantially above or below its fundamental value.
It's important to distinguish between NVIDIA's intrinsic value and market price, which are calculated using different methodologies. Investment decisions regarding NVIDIA should consider multiple factors including financial performance, growth metrics, competitive position, and professional analysis. In contrast, NVIDIA's trading price reflects the actual exchange value where willing buyers and sellers reach mutual agreement.
