Unusual Option Trades Spark Fresh Scrutiny on Nifty XX Index

A series of mysterious option trades has drawn attention to the Nifty 50, particularly unusual price spikes in straddles near expiry—where premiums should typically decline. Instead, prices have surged or held firm, defying conventional options behavior.

Market watchers suspect a large player—or “whale”—may be making strategic bets on index volatility. The issue gained further traction following SEBI’s action against Jane Street, raising concerns about possible manipulation in index derivatives.

With expiry-day anomalies becoming more frequent, regulators and traders alike are taking a closer look at what’s really moving the Nifty XX.
