How To Read It
- Higher readings usually mean traders are leaning harder toward puts in single-name options, which often lines up with defensive sentiment or stress.
- The 10-day smoothing matters because the unsmoothed daily ratio is noisy enough to throw off the bigger signal.
- This is most useful at extremes and inflections, especially when it starts confirming or diverging from credit spreads and volatility charts.
