The put/call ratio compares put volume to call volume in the equity options market. Low readings mean heavy call buying (optimism / chase); high readings mean heavy put buying (hedging or panic).
Options flow is a real-time window into how traders are positioning for upside vs protection. Extremes are more useful than the middle — they flag crowded bets.
These are common levels traders set email alerts around — click the chart to place a line at any of them.
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.

Common levels traders watch: 0.50 — bullish / overbought edge — Very heavy calls. Often watched as a caution that optimism is stretched and pullbacks can start. 0.75 — bearish tilt begins — Puts start to dominate the usual equity baseline — hedging demand is rising. 1.00 — puts ≥ calls — Protection demand is serious. Crosses of 1.0 often accompany risk-off days. 1.20+ — oversold / panic — Widespread put buying. Contrarians treat this as possible capitulation territory.

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.
