There was a huge spike in 270 Puts (PE).

It means people sold 270 PE anticipating the price would not close below 270 before this month's expiry.

But the closing price of ZEEL on the next day (23/Sep) is 260.95.

Now can you imagine the conditions of these 270 PE sellers?

They have trapped - Either they have to book a huge loss or shift their position (it brings more risk to the table).

On 23/Sep, most people closed their position in 270 PE.

Also, many traders sold 270 CE, which adds more pressure to the fall.
