# vike-options-flow ## Command ```bash vike options flow --symbol BTC|ETH|SOL [--window 1d|1w|1m] [--json] ``` Default: BTC, 1d. ## Output Per-window aggregates: call volume, put volume, put-call ratio, net delta, open-interest deltas. ## Reading the put-call ratio (PCR) | PCR (volume basis) | Read | |---|---| | < 0.5 | **Aggressive call buying** — bullish positioning, or call-overwrite unwind | | 0.5–0.8 | Normal bullish | | 0.8–1.2 | Balanced | | 1.2–1.8 | Bearish hedging or directional put buying | | > 1.8 | Heavy put demand — fear / hedge spike | PCR is **not a contrarian signal** on its own. Cross-reference with spot price action and funding: - High PCR + price falling + negative funding = real bearish capitulation - High PCR + price flat + positive funding = hedging into a rally (not panic) ## Window choice - `1d` — intraday sentiment shifts, useful around major events - `1w` — positioning trend; cleaner read for narrative - `1m` — structural positioning; useful for IV-rank and term-structure context ## Anti-patterns - Don't quote raw call/put volume without context — Deribit's BTC notional is in the tens of billions weekly; a $100M day means little in isolation. - Don't conflate flow (new positions) with open interest (cumulative). Flow is the change; OI is the stock. ## Pairs well with - `vike-perp-funding-arb` for the corresponding perp positioning - `vike-perp-screener` for the broader market read
