Oracle Maximum Pain Price Across 2026-04-17 Option Contracts

In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Oracle

Analyzing Oracle's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Oracle regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Oracle's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Oracle's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Oracle's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.

Oracle In The Money Call Balance

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

Oracle Current Options Market Mood

Oracle'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 Oracle 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 Oracle'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. Oracle'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 Oracle contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Oracle will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.035% per day over the life of the 2026-04-17 option contract. With Oracle trading at USD 177.16, that is roughly USD 0.062. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Oracle's daily price movement you should consider buying Oracle options at the current volatility level of 0.56%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
Purchasing Oracle 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" Oracle calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Oracle stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

Oracle Option Chain

When Oracle's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Oracle 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.

The market value of Oracle is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Oracle that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Oracle's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Oracle's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Oracle's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Oracle's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Oracle's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Oracle is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Oracle's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
