It’s options expiry day for Microvast (MVST), and the key level to watch is $3.50 which is the current max pain price. That’s the strike where the most options (calls and puts) are set to expire worthless, typically benefiting option sellers the most.
What Is Max Pain?
If you’re not familiar, max pain is the price where the most options contracts (both calls and puts) would expire worthless. It’s the level that hurts the most traders and benefits the most option sellers. On expiry days like today, stocks sometimes drift toward that price as open interest settles and positions are closed.
Where’s MVST Now?
MVST closed yesterday at $3.14, but moved higher in after-hours trading, reaching around $3.32. That brings the stock noticeably closer to the $3.50 max pain point. However, after-hours trading tends to be more volatile and less liquid, so this price action should be viewed cautiously. The real direction will be clearer once regular market hours begin.
Why It Matters
While max pain doesn’t guarantee price movement, it’s worth watching on expiry days. If Microvast starts climbing toward $3.50 this afternoon, it could be linked to options expiry pressure. Either way, it’s something traders will be keeping an eye on.
