What is Put/Call Options?

The put/call ratio compares put volume to call volume. Low readings (heavy calls) often signal optimism or overbought conditions; high readings (heavy puts) can signal caution or panic.

How Market Alerts uses it

We band the ratio so you can see when options flow looks bullish, balanced, cautious, or capitulation-like — then email you if it crosses your threshold.

How to read the bands

Bullish / Overbought (<0.50)

Heavy call buying and optimism. Often watched as a caution for pullbacks or tops.

Neutral / Balanced (0.50–0.75)

Typical equity-ratio baseline — more continuation than climax.

Bearish / Elevated (0.75–1.0)

Traders leaning toward puts or protection. Caution is rising.

Oversold (>1.20)

Widespread demand for puts. Contrarians often treat this as panic that can mark bottoms.
