Put Call Ratio (PCR) is the ratio of Put option activity to Call option activity. It is one of the most widely used indicators for measuring market sentiment in options trading. Traders use PCR to understand whether the market is becoming more bullish or bearish.

Put Call Ratio is calculated by dividing the total Put Open Interest or Put Volume by the total Call Open Interest or Call Volume. Traders commonly use both OI PCR and Volume PCR to analyze market sentiment from different perspectives.

A higher Put Call Ratio generally indicates stronger Put positioning and improving bullish sentiment. However, PCR should always be interpreted together with price action and other market indicators rather than used alone.

Tuned Signals:BullishPCRSentiment

A lower Put Call Ratio often indicates stronger Call positioning and relatively bearish market sentiment. Monitoring changes in PCR throughout the trading session helps traders identify shifting market expectations.

Tuned Signals:BearishPCRTrend

Volume PCR compares Put trading volume with Call trading volume during the trading session. Because it reflects live trading activity, Volume PCR often reacts faster than Open Interest–based PCR.
