Frequently Asked Questions

What does options volume tell you about SPY?
Options volume is the number of contracts traded for SPY on NYSE/NASDAQ in the current session. High volume at a specific strike signals strong directional conviction at that level. Unusually high call volume above the current price suggests bullish bets, while high put volume below spot suggests hedging or bearish activity. Unlike open interest (which accumulates), volume resets to zero each day.
What is the volume put-call ratio (PCR) for SPY?
The volume-based put-call ratio for SPY is currently 2.09. A volume PCR above 1 means more put contracts are being traded than calls — generally a bearish signal. Below 1 is bullish. Unlike the OI-based PCR, the volume PCR is a real-time intraday indicator of where traders are placing bets right now.
How is options volume different from open interest for SPY?
Volume counts the number of SPY options contracts traded today — it resets to zero at market open every session. Open interest (OI) is the cumulative count of all outstanding contracts that have not been closed or expired — it builds up over time. High volume with rising OI means new positions are being opened. High volume with falling OI means existing positions are being closed.
