I have mentioned it before, I don't put much weight to the P/C ratios. They are not dollar weighted so we have no idea how much money is actually going into Puts as opposed to calls. The ratio does not reflect where the primary strikes primar are, nor does it tell which expiration month the options were bought for . Also, for all we know a vast majority of those puts may have been bought for hedging purposes to protect gains from the Sept rally, rather than bought as speculative positions. Be wary of trying to compress a complex number into a meaning too simple.
