Nifty PCR
Nifty PCR (Put Call Ratio) is a popular intraday sentiment indicator. It compares the total open interest of put options with call options on the Nifty index some traders compare with nearest strikes like 4, 6, 8 10 strikes away from ATM Strikes. A higher put call ratio suggests traders are expecting market to go upwards, while a lower ratio indicates that the market is likely to fall intraday..

Nifty Intraday PCR
Intraday PCR is the live, it refreshes every 3 min to 15 min, some traders use 30min. as lower time frame is confusing for traders as the oi volume is not that much. Instead of waiting for end‑of‑day data, traders watch PCRevery 3 min to 15 min, during market hours. This helps them to take trade in the direction of the mood — like watching the heartbeat of the future and options market in real time. It’s especially useful tool for intraday traders who need quick signals to get in or get out of positions.
Put Call Ratio Formula
The formula is very simple: PCR = Open Interest of Puts ÷ Open Interest of Calls. By dividing the total number of puts by the total number of calls, you get a ratio that reflects whether traders are selling more puts or selling more calls. It’s simple mathematical formula, but it is very powerful in what singal it provides.
Put Call Ratio Example
Suppose Nifty has 10 lakh puts and 5 lakh calls open. PCR = 10 ÷ 5 = 2.0. This shows traders are more selling more puts and expect market to go up. On the other hand, if calls were higher — say 12 lakh calls vs 8 lakh puts — PCR = 0.67, which signals bearishness they are selling more calls as they market to fall or to not go above certain strike. These numbers help traders quickly interpret the crowd’s mood without looking into charts.
