Intraday OEX put/call Ratio

[tsptalk]

Does anyone have a link to a site that provides intraday quotes of the OEX put / call ratio? I want to see if they are selling this rally.

They put in one of the most bullish one-day readings in 20 years yesterday - as if they get the ADP reports in advance.

They are still bearish using the 10-day EMA, but the one day bullish spike, and today's action got my attention.

Those readings have sure given the appearance lately of insider knowledge at work. :suspicious:

Im starting to doubt how effective these smart money charts are. You guys are saying they are at incredible lows but the market moves up. Maybe I don't understand so well. Shouldn't their moves drive the trend downwards? I've also read some articles saying that they really aren't relevant because they really haven't been to accurate in timing the market. Help! Lol thanks all

There is, of course, no one tell all indicator otherwise we'd all be rich, but the 10-day MA of the OEX put / call ratio and the Sentiment Surveys are about the best I have seen over the years. And unfortunately, the more that people use it,the less effective they seem to become over the years.

That said, take a look at the 10-day EMA of the OEX p/c ratio, along with the daily reading. These are not long-term signals, particularly the daily reading. But the daily one is pretty good at short-term calls (1 to 2 days) while the 10-day MA is good for weeks to a month or more.

Look at the reading from Mon/Tues. It was telling us that a short bullish move was likely. That doesn't mean they won't be buying a ton of puts today looking for another move down.

The daily reading says, look for a bounce in the market in the next few days. The 10-day MA is still saying the smart money is prepared for a pullback / correction.

Thanks for the response. I've definitely got to lean to read charts better. Hopefully this How to make Money In Stocks book will help.

Thanks again for the link crws!

Interesting... It looks like the smart money (OEX p/c) was skeptical of the rally in the morning, but after 1200 was taken out, they became more bullish...

Not intraday and not OEX, but something to note.

On October 5, the CBOE put/callratio reached one of the highest levels since the 2020 crash. Forward returns show a clear case for good returns.
