The put-call ratio is a widely used metric in financial markets to assess investor sentiment by comparing the volume of put options to call options traded. Put options give investors the right to sell an asset, while call options provide the right to buy. A higher put-call ratio typically signals a bearish outlook, as more investors are purchasing put options to protect against or profit from potential price declines. Conversely, a lower ratio suggests a bullish sentiment, indicating confidence in price increases as more call options are traded.
