The Put Call Ratio (PCR) is a tool in the stock market to understand how investors feel about a stock or the market's future. It compares the number of put options to call options traded. More puts traded mean investors expect prices to fall (bearish). More calls traded mean investors expect prices to rise (bullish).
High PCR (> 1) - This indicates more put options are being traded than call options, suggesting a bearish sentiment, and traders expect the market to go down. Low PCR (< 1) - This indicates more call options are being traded than put options, suggesting a bullish sentiment, and traders expect the market to go up.
