It's dropped a little but bearish nonetheless. It does look like a warning signal. By the way, is there a G7 meeting this weekend?

Yes G7 meeting this weekend - nothing big expected

maybe a little focus on the Yen being to weak

The Ratio is determined as follows: 14041/3691 = 3.80 This means that... for 1 buyer there are 3.8 sellers

You might consider the dumb money positioned on equity options... and the smart money positioned on index options for short term (1/5 days)

The Ratio of the OEX options is usually a good indicator to understand the short term direction (...probable)

I can't seem to find that specific ratio 14041/3691 on the site

At 12:00 PM the ratio is 242180 405520 for call put index

The biggest ratio put call ratio seems to be for S&P 100 at 12:00 PM, where the ratio is 26750 6946 - almost 4

My second question - what is your experience of the effect of these ratios? What was the ratio before the big drop in february?
just to get an impression of what is a high put call ratio

Thanks for your time!
