Cboe Equity Put/Call Ratio Surges Above 1.0 Amid S&P 500 Decline
The Cboe equity put/call ratio rose to 1.05 on Thursday, marking a significant increase in bearish sentiment among investors. This spike represents one of the highest levels seen since April 2025, according to Carson Group's chief market strategist Ryan Detrick. The surge in the ratio coincides with a 4.4% slide in the S&P 500 index. Historically, spikes in the put/call ratio above the 1.0 threshold have often signaled extreme sentiment shifts that can precede near-term market turning points.
