I just noticed an interesting signal in the options market — the put/call ratio for Nasdaq 100 jumped to 1.2. This is the highest level since the bear market in 2022. It seems that investors in tech stocks are actively hedging against declines.
Even more interesting, this indicator exceeds the peak from April last year and hasn't seen such heights in over ten years ( if we don't count that maximum in 2022 at 2.3 ). Meanwhile, the S&P 500 also shows the put/call ratio rising to 0.9 — the highest since April last year.
What does this mean? It appears the market has experienced pullbacks of 3–5% since the beginning of 2024, and traders are actively buying put options for protection. The volume of put options traded in dollars is the second-largest in the past two years — only behind levels before April last year. It seems caution is growing in the market.
