Yes put activity is a contrarian indicator. I often hear CNBC saying that when the put activity is at its lowest (often says it when stocks are rising), then it is not a good sign.

You can also relate put activity to short sellers piling it on. The higher the short interest is in a stock, the more bullish the indicator.


Cheers,

the stock is going up!

I assume you mean will go up?

After all a 25% pullback in 8 straight down days, or put another way a 50% pullback in 30 trading days, can hardly be called going up.
