The sensex summary for the week of 22-26 June 2026 is defined by the Sensex navigating four trading days of expiry-cycle volatility to close at 77,100.47 – above the critical 77,000 level that served as both the weekly and monthly options max pain zone. The sensex summary for the week is particularly significant because Thursday 25 June was simultaneously the Sensex weekly options expiry AND the Sensex June monthly options expiry (the last Thursday of June), making it a double-settlement day within the week. The Nifty 50 closed at 24,056.00 with VIX compressing from 27.32 to 13.05 across the four sessions.
Ankit Jaiswal and Kunal Singla of Univest review the sensex summary for the week with particular focus on the Sensex’s double-expiry settlement and the Iran-US Switzerland talks that drove VIX’s dramatic compression throughout the sensex summary for the week period.

Sensex Summary for the Week: The Double Expiry Event
The most technically significant element of the sensex summary for the week is Thursday 25 June’s double-expiry settlement. Thursday was both the Sensex weekly options expiry AND the Sensex June monthly options expiry, as the Sensex always expires on Thursdays and the last Thursday of June was the 25th. In the sensex summary for the week, this double-expiry on a single day created a unique confluence where the weekly and monthly max pain zones both concentrated near 77,000.
Ankit Jaiswal notes that the Sensex settling at 77,100.47 – above the 77,000 monthly max pain – represents a clean, constructive outcome for the sensex summary for the week’s F&O calendar. Option sellers were well-positioned, and the index’s settlement above max pain means the June monthly series closed without a sharp expiry-driven dislocation. The sensex summary for the week therefore leaves the Sensex in a clean F&O state heading into July’s fresh monthly series.
Sensex Summary for the Week: Key Technical Levels
- Weekly Range: The sensex summary for the week shows a range of 76,121.59 (Wednesday intraday low) to 77,803.18 (Thursday intraday high) – a 1,682-point intraday weekly range within just four trading sessions. This wide range reflects the combined impact of Nifty 50 expiry (Tuesday), the recovery session (Wednesday), and the double Sensex expiry (Thursday).
- 77,000 as Key Level: In the sensex summary for the week, 77,000 served as the pivotal level – both as the monthly max pain target and as the psychological support that the Sensex successfully defended on Thursday. The Sensex closing at 77,100.47 (above 77,000) is the most bullish technical outcome in the sensex summary for the week.
- HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank: As the two largest Sensex constituents, HDFC Bank (+0.39% Thursday) and ICICI Bank (+1.01% Thursday) provided Sensex stability throughout the sensex summary for the week, especially during the Thursday double-expiry session.
Sensex Summary for the Week: VIX and Macro Analysis
The sensex summary for the week features the most dramatic VIX compression of recent months. India VIX opened the week at 27.32 – elevated by Iran-US geopolitical risk – and closed Thursday at 13.05. Kunal Singla notes that this 14-point VIX compression in four trading days in the sensex summary for the week is directly attributable to the Iran-US Switzerland talks that began Monday. As each day of talk progress reduced the probability of military escalation, VIX fell and Sensex constituents repriced lower risk premiums.
The sensex summary for the week also coincided with significant MCX commodity volatility: gold and silver fell mid-week on Iran deal optimism before recovering as talks remained unresolved, while crude oil bounced to close the week near Rs 6,790/barrel. These commodity moves affected Reliance Industries and ONGC – key Sensex heavyweights – creating an additional layer of complexity in the sensex summary for the week’s constituent-level performance.

Sensex Summary for the Week: What the Settlement Means
The sensex summary for the week concludes with the Sensex’s June monthly options series fully expired and settled at 77,100.47. The next Sensex expiry is Thursday 3 July 2026 (the first Thursday of July). Ankit Jaiswal notes that this clean settlement removes all Sensex-specific F&O pressure from the market calendar for the coming Monday (29 June), making it a cleaner directional session for the Sensex than any of last week’s expiry-day sessions in the sensex summary for the week.

- Iran-US Weekend Outcome: The sensex summary for the week leaves the Switzerland talks unresolved heading into the extended weekend (Friday was Muharram). The deal outcome will create a significant Monday gap for the Sensex.

The weekly Sensex review of 22-26 June 2026 shows the Sensex closing at 77,100.47 after successfully settling its weekly and monthly June expiry above 77,000.
