Options Open Interest & Volume

Options Interest Analysis

This tool analyzes CBOE options data to provide insights into market sentiment through Put/Call ratios and volume positioning by strike prices. All selections are single-choice for focused analysis.

• Put/Call Ratio: Tracks the ratio of put to call options volume over time, with values above 1.0 suggesting bearish sentiment and below 1.0 indicating bullish sentiment.
• Strike Positioning: Visualizes the distribution of put and call option volumes across different strike prices for a specific expiration date. Put volumes appear as negative values (left side), call volumes as positive (right side).
• Market Sentiment Indicators: High put/call ratios often indicate fear or hedging activity, while low ratios suggest optimism or speculative call buying. It can be used to identify potential support/resistance levels and spot unusual options activity patterns.
