About the CRUDEOILM Straddle Premium & PCR
This page charts the CRUDEOILM straddle premium next to the put-call ratio for MCX Crude Oil Mini. The premium is the combined price of the call and put at the selected strike, and the PCR shows whether open interest around that strike leans toward puts or calls.
Reading them together separates two stories that look similar on a premium line alone: a premium that rises while PCR climbs suggests demand for downside protection, while a premium that falls with a steady PCR points to time decay doing the work. Choose a strike or let it follow the money, switch between line and candles, and replay a past session.
