Re: [RT] Put Call Ratio (with corrected SP cash)

Attached are a couple of end of day charts.  
One is the $C/($C+$P)composite of the AMEX, CBOE, PSE, PHLX.  
It is a noisy ratio and could use some smoothing 
for sure.
Here are some ways to look at the Composite dollar 
weighted ratio.  
In index uptrends the ratio swings moreso between 
0.5 and 0.7.
In index downtrends the ratio swings between 0.5 
and 0.2.
The ratio may peak before the index peaks and then 
forms a divergence as price peaks.
Likewise at price bottoms a divergence may occur, 
or may be coincident.
If anything, the extreme levels of 0.7 and 0.3 
should be warning flags on the dollar weighted ratio.
 
The second chart is the CBOE Equity Call / Put 
ratio with some 21 period Bollenger Bands with +,- 1 std dev that help 
define the extremes.
