#put-call-ratio

The single headline gauge of how the crypto options market is positioned, computed live from Deribit's public option book — no key, nothing stored. The put/call ratio is the amount of put activity divided by call activity: a low ratio means the market is loaded with calls (bullish, greedy positioning), a high ratio means puts dominate (hedging, fear). The ratio endpoint returns, for a currency (BTC or ETH), the market-wide put/call ratio computed two ways — by open interest (the standing positioning) and by 24-hour volume (today's flow) — with the call and put totals, the spot index and a plain-language sentiment label. The expiries endpoint breaks the put/call ratio down by expiry, revealing the term structure of sentiment: whether hedging is concentrated in the near term or further out. This is the aggregate options put/call sentiment cut for crypto — distinct from the US-equity put/call API (a different market), the max-pain / open-interest positioning view, the implied-vol skew surface and the gamma-exposure APIs in the catalogue. Below roughly 0.7 is call-heavy and bullish, above 1.0 put-heavy and defensive; it is most useful read as a contrarian gauge. Currency is BTC or ETH, the two assets Deribit lists liquid options for.

Live (15-minute delayed) options put/call sentiment analytics for US stocks and indices, computed from CBOE's public delayed-quotes feed. The ratio endpoint aggregates the entire option chain into the headline sentiment gauges — the put/call ratio by volume and by open interest, the total put and call volume and open interest, the contract counts, and the underlying price with its 30-day implied volatility (IV30) — plus a plain-language sentiment lean. The expiries endpoint breaks the put/call ratio down by expiration date, giving the term structure of sentiment. The strikes endpoint maps call-versus-put volume and open interest across strikes for an expiration, showing where positioning sits. This is the computed options-sentiment and positioning view — ratios and skew, not a contract dump — distinct from the raw options-chain, the volatility-index and the options-pricing calculators in the catalogue. US index options use an underscore-prefixed symbol (_SPX, _VIX); a ratio above 1 means more puts than calls (defensive/bearish lean). Live, no key on the upstream, nothing stored.
