How to read it. Max pain is the strike where the open calls and puts of one expiry would be worth the least at settlement; it describes where open interest sits and is not a price prediction. The put/call ratio divides put open interest (or 24h volume) by call open interest: above 1 more puts are open. Notional is open interest in BTC times the index price.
