Shubham Agarwal: Master Market Trends with PCR OI to Avoid Trading Traps

• Shubham Agarwal explains how PCR OI (Put-Call Ratio Open Interest) helps traders follow market trends and avoid common pitfalls like bottom-fishing.
• PCR OI is calculated as Total Put OI / Total Call OI, providing a live count of active positions in the market.
• Option sellers, due to their higher risk and margin, offer a more reliable signal of market direction; put sellers are bullish, call sellers are bearish.
• A rising PCR OI indicates increasing bullish conviction from informed sellers, signaling an uptrend to 'buy the dips'.
• A falling PCR OI suggests call sellers are dominant, indicating a downtrend where traders should 'sell the rallies' and resist bottom-fishing.
