Record levels of complacency means market topping outIn this post, I have shown the put-call ratio which is a reliable measure of sentiment in the market. When everyone is optimistic, that's typically when the market tops out. P04:28by markethunter888Published 5
Sentiment switch from panic to complacencyAfter the selloff in early August due to the Yen carry trade, panic levels exploded. However, over the past 3 weeks, the market is back to extreme complacency and that's not a good sign for the bulls. P03:07by markethunter888Published 3
Extreme complacency is a major warningThe analysis done here shows extreme complacency in the market which is indicating a top could be forming. When everyone is bullish you have to be worried. P04:30by markethunter888Published 227
Extreme Panic in Put/Call Ratio = Bottom in Equities soon?Yesterday's spike in the CBOE Put/Call Ratio brings it closer to the spikes seen during Covid fall and the December '22 bottom. This is a sign of extreme panic and we could be very near to the bottom in US Equities. SPX as of 4th Oct closing = 4263.76Pby Shivam_GabaPublished 113
Pre FOMC quick takeAll in the video, I cover a few of the sectors and point out this area has been tough resistance for the market in the past. Noone seems to be expecting more problems with the banks, which to me is sort of strange as we don't know the full fall out yet. Good luck tomorrow - FOMC at 2pm and 2:30 press conference!P07:20by the_sunshipUpdated 2213
PCC & QQQ: PUT TO CALL RATIO / MARKET BOTTOM NEARING???DESCRIPTION: In the chart above I have included an overlapping analysis of PCC which is a PUT TO CALL RATIO INDICATOR & QQQ a LEADING INDEX in the OVERALL MARKET. POINTS: 1. A PUT TO CALL RATIO LEVEL OF 2:1 HAS ALWAYS BEEN INDICATIVE THAT A MARKET BOTTOM IS NEARING OR IN. 2. MACD is has officially shown a complete flip in buying to selling pressure by touching +0.1 and falling closer to -0.05. 3. RSI is showing a distinct decline seen in past market bottoms. IMO: With an overabundance of overall bearish market sentiment and spikes being seen in PUT TO CALL RATIO INDICATORS FOR EQUITIES & INDICES it should be safe to bet that market bottoms occur when the majority of retail investors are buying PUTS as MARKET MAKERS would not allow their CONTRACTS to EXPIRE IN THE MONEY. SCENARIO: Continuous spikes to 2 POINTS for PCC and above is most certainly a sign that a MARKET BOTTOM is in the making already.

Is this level of pessimism justified ?The put/call ratio is at extreme levels which is reflecting a very pessimistic sentiment in the market. Typically, this indicator is to be used as a contrarian signal which means some sort of a major bottom could be forming over the next couple weeks. P04:16by markethunter888Published 441
PCC Ratio is looking BullishI have an alert for when the 10-day moving average falls below .8. The PCC spends most of its time between.8 and 1 when the 10 moving average falls below .8 you can count on a bearish reversal in the market. As of right now, we are above that with plenty of room. The reason why I bring this up now is that if we mid-term rally I'm looking for a strong bull push followed by a reversal before we trend. Setting an alert on the PCC for .8 and 1 crossovers will keep you on the right side of the market.PLongby OptionismPublished 1
NASDAQ The Put/Call Ratio shows it's time to buy stocks NOW!This is another stock index long-term analysis and this time our focus is on the Nasdaq (NDX). For better illustration we are displaying the Nasdaq as a line instead of candles (black trend-line) and the Put/ Call Ratio (blue trend-line) on the 1W time-frame. First let's explain what this ratio is. Basically it is the number of put options divided by the number of call options. This is an indicator that essentially illustrates the pessimism/ optimism in the market, what market participants (investors, traders, funds etc) feel is going to happen in the (near at least) future. When it is rising it means that there is a lot of pessimism and more people are betting on the downside and when it falls it illustrates that more people expect an upside. For this analysis we've put the MA20 of the Put/ Call Ratio (PCR) as it filters the noise more efficiently. As you see, since the October 10 2011 High, every PCR peak is made on a Lower Highs trend-line (dashed line) and the price gets rejected. When that pull-back happens, it effectively gives us a confirmed signal to buy stocks. This time the peak on the Lower Highs trend-line took place on the June 13 candle and as you see it turned out to be the most optimal place to buy as the index rose aggressively. The current rise though on the PCR is naturally translated into a Nasdaq pull-back put since the 2009 financial crisis, this happened most of the times and didn't affect the long-term bullish trend. So will you take advantage of this pull-back? P.S. Because the chart has added elements (PCR, Nasdaq) plotted that are not stable on the axis, it may appear distorted based on your screen's/ browser dimensions. The original looks like this below, so if yours doesn't, adjust the vertical/ horizontal axis in order to make it look like this and better understand what is illustrated: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pby TradingShotPublished 4432
i think put/call has peakedthis is another reason to think maybe there is some rebound in the works in index futures. puts have let off steam, and the general direction at this peak level is calls to return for indices futures.Pby cerealpatternsPublished 0

PCC - Put call Ratio / CBOEROCs exploded once again. Hopefully, this is squeezed hard off a further Extreme reading. OR It's off to 2.0ish as HappyCloud Suggested might happen... www.tradingview.com We're going to fail, but a FULL REVERSAL prior to failure... whopsawed, but in tot he BUZZSAW again. I'd count on it that whipsaw. 13.% looks to be in the offing for the next decline. Pby HK_L61Published 116
PCC - Options Volumes 71% DeclineLiquidity within Leveraged products was used to provide a bid for the Underlying on Gamma/Delta. With the overall decline in participation, we are seeing Micro Range Squeezes develop when it is "Time". Friday's trade was a run to Square, and with the Retail Options players levered up in 420 Spy Calls... there was no chance they would be paid. The PCC remains useful although in a tighter range from .86 to 1.12. Looking over the June 17s - "an Entity is looking for a deep correction of 20%+" maximum-pain.com Pby HK_L61Published 11

PCC - Put call Ratio / Reliability has been a Solid Guide, accurate in the Extreme... One exception remains the Higher end of the Range remains open for a far Higher High. Friday's Expiry was an excellent example of a PCC Squeeze as rising from 1.1876 to 1.274 was an indication of Price having a clear potential to run to close. It did. _________________________________________________________ Use it or lose it. "Cheap" remains relative. Pby HK_L61Published 7

PCC - Tom Lee JinxNever underestimate the lunacy of former JPM Alumni Tom Lee. The Cathy Wood of C N B C - Tom simply needs to STFU. In January, Tom was concerned about the Markets after Mid-Year... ________________________________________________ Market Liquidity is evaporating. Volatility is expanding. The Algos have been very careful to press the Sellers on spikes in the Put/Call Ratio for the CBOE. _________________________________________________ Real Estate Ballon Stock Market Bubble Bond Market Beyond So, VX intraday is used to keep everyone offsides and out of the trades with extreme - wide-ranging swings. Use the PCC to your advantage, it has worked quite well. The range has been roughly 105 to 135 recently. Trade safe and good luck. Pby HK_L61Published 2210
