Also called: PCR, Put call ratio
The put-call ratio (PCR) is the total open interest in put options divided by the total open interest in call options for an underlying and expiry. A PCR above 1 means more puts are open than calls.
PCR (OI) = Total put open interest ÷ Total call open interest
If Nifty's current expiry has 1.2 crore put contracts and 1 crore call contracts open, the OI PCR is 1.2.

No. Put-call ratio describes one aspect of a company, a price or a contract, and it is best read alongside other numbers and the business itself. Jivani Markets is a research and education platform; it does not give buy, sell or hold recommendations.
