What is Open Interest Put Call Ratio? An indicator to help with market sentiment analysis within specific time-frames.

Its utility, however, goes beyond this simple interpretation. The OI PCR can be used to determine market sentiment. If the OI PCR is greater than 1, it is considered bullish, and if it is lower than 1, it is considered bearish. However, its utility goes beyond this simple interpretation. The indicator can detect the dangerous consensus we discussed earlier, which can lead to drastic price movements.
