Put-heavy options flow
Put volume above 0.7 times call volume on the session.
The traded-volume cousin of the open-interest PCR scans. Open interest measures positions being held; volume measures what changed hands today. On NSE single stocks the flow skews heavily to calls, with the median name trading roughly two calls for every put, so a session at 0.7 puts per call is a genuine tilt toward the downside and not neutrality. What volume cannot tell you is who. A put buyer hedging and a put writer harvesting premium print the same contract. Read it with the price: put-heavy flow in a falling stock is protection being bought, while in a rising one it is often writers funding the floor.
