Two days, back to back with 37M option contract turnover is AMAZING!
The OCC also said that option volumes in January increased 43%.
Option volume was the highest EVER for January and the 3rd highest on record.
Yesterday we traded 2,919,000 calls in the VIX versus 629,000 puts.
The Put/Call ratio was near record low of .21 puts to calls.
**The inverse nature of the VIX (contact generally increases in value as S&P 500 drops) means we regularly get sub .50 put to call ratios.
