Not sure if this makes much sense but when historically infallable indicators and can't miss patterns become common knowledge, they seem to suddenly quit working. >>>

larry mcmillan talks about this in one of his books, the put/call averages made regular buy and sell signals at certain levels in the late 70's early 80's, then they stopped working at those levels, most market mavens proclaimed put/call ratios as no longer useful.

the problem is that the levels change in changing market conditions, mcmillan long ago started using moving average cross-overs of put-call averages for buy and sell signals, rather than using raw #'s to call overbot and oversold.
