Options strategy for Mahindra and Mahindra

Based on options data suggesting a potential price movement of ±7.6%, traders have the opportunity to engage in either a long or short volatility strategy.

For those looking to capitalise on the expected volatility, the Long Straddle strategy is appropriate. This involves buying both an at-the-money (ATM) call and put option with the same strike price and expiry of Mahindra & Mahindra, with the aim of profiting from a move of more than ±7.6% in either direction.
Conversely, the Short Straddle strategy is suitable for scenarios where volatility is expected to fall. In this approach, a trader would sell both an ATM call and put option with the same strike price and expiry, implying that the price of Mahindra & Mahindra will remain within a range of ±7.6% after the earnings release.

Meanwhile, traders seeking a bearish approach and the breakdown of the double pattern or continuation of the bullish pattern can explore directional spreads.

For a bullish outlook, a bull call spread involves buying a call option while simultaneously selling a higher strike call with the same expiration, reducing cost while capping potential gains.
Conversely, for a bearish stance, a bear put spread consists of buying a put option and selling a lower strike put, balancing risk and reward.
