Video Explanation:
Why Use It?
-> PCR helps traders understand market sentiment, indicating whether investors are more bullish (lower PCR) or bearish (higher PCR).
-> PCR > 1 implies bullishness, PCR < 1 implies bearishness and if PCR = 1 implies a sideways market.
-> If PCR is very far from 1 on either side it implies the market is oversold/overbought and that a reversal could happen.
-> Stock market indices provide a snapshot of overall market performance and help investors track market trends.
