Crude Oil put-call ratio: how to read today's PCR
The latest Crude Oil PCR, its one-session intraday trend, the active expiry and the option-chain totals behind it.
Read the level
PCR below 1 means call OI is greater than put OI. PCR above 1 means put OI is greater than call OI for the selected expiry.
Check today's direction
A rising intraday PCR means put OI is growing relative to call OI, call OI is falling, or both. A falling PCR means the reverse.
Confirm market context
Combine PCR with Crude Oil price, strike OI changes, premiums, volatility and time to expiry. PCR is context, not a standalone signal.
OI PCR formula
Total put open interest ÷ Total call open interest
Volume PCR uses traded contracts instead, while change-OI PCR compares current OI activity.
Interpretation guardrail
High PCR can result from put writing, put buying, call unwinding or a mixture. Validate it against price and strike-level positioning.
