Put-Call Ratio Bullish

The number of puts purchased divided by the number of calls purchased is a contrary indicator for the market. As pessimism grows, the put-call ratio rises and the possibilities of a rally increase (because pessimism results in selling and eventually the sellers run out of ammunition, leaving a market weighted in favor of the buyers). Nevertheless, unless you have a friend in the Israeli government or IDF, then this may not be sufficient information to time this market. All the same, volatility can be a good environment to make money, so long as you ground your market activities in the fundamentals (buy cheap stocks of good quality companies and you run less risk).
