How Options Traders Use the Put-Call Ratio Signal

Episode 37 of Options Trading with Fexingo dives into the put-call ratio—a contrarian sentiment indicator that can signal market turns. Lucas and Luna break down the recent spike in the ratio amid the S&P 500's 2.8% weekly drop and the VIX surge to 21.51. They explain how to read total market vs. equity-only put-call ratios, when extreme readings have historically marked bottoms, and why today's elevated ratio might not be a buy signal yet. Using the June 5 jobs report as context, they walk through a practical framework for combining the put-call ratio with volatility term structure and open interest data. No fluff, just actionable options intelligence for retail traders. #PutCallRatio #ContrarianIndicator #OptionsTrading #VIX #MarketSentiment #SP500 #JobsReport #Volatility #Gamma #TailRisk #Derivatives #RetailInvesting #Finance #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #OptionsStrategy #MarketTiming Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
