Bearish Sentiment Suggests Market Will Move Higher
As I prepared for the MarketWatchers LIVE segment on sentiment today, I was surprised to see investors and money managers are getting very bearish. Put/Call ratios show a bearish bias as well. It is important to remember that sentiment is a “contrarian” indicator. It works a bit like the VIX which more of you may be familiar with. When the VIX begins showing climactically higher readings, that is bullish; while climactically lower readings are bearish.

Bear put spread vs bear call spread
Hi guys,
Theoretically, if your put and call IV is the same, there should be no difference in putting on a Bear Put spread and a bear call spread at the same strike. So in the attached example, why is the $1 bear call spread paying me 37 cents, whereas the $1 bear put spread costs 74 cents(assuming mid price execution)? The IVs are almost identical(I assume the IVs are based off mid), so I don’t think that is the issue. What am I missing here? Thanks for the help.
