Frequently Asked Questions

What does open interest tell you about PEP?
Open interest (OI) is the total number of outstanding option contracts that have not been settled. For PEP, high call OI at a strike signals resistance (sellers defending that level), while high put OI signals support (buyers protecting against downside). The current put-call ratio for PEP is 0.80, indicating a bullish market sentiment.
What is the put-call ratio (PCR) for PEP?
The current OI-based put-call ratio for PEP is 0.80. A PCR above 1.2 is generally considered bearish (more puts than calls), while below 0.8 is bullish (more calls than puts). Values between 0.8 and 1.2 indicate a balanced market. The current reading suggests bullish sentiment.
How do I use OI to find support and resistance for PEP?
Strike prices with the highest call open interest act as resistance — market makers are short calls there and will hedge by selling the stock as price approaches.
