S&P 500 Oscillator

From IntFX

Jump to: navigation, search

This indicator is calculated by dividing the weekly volume of all S&P 500 put options by the weekly volume of all S&P 500 call options. Big call volume appears at market tops and big put volume at bottoms. Put/call ratios of the indices like OEX and SPX are distorted and clouded by arbitrage and hedging and do therefore not always reflect true investor sentiment.
