TKL: This is interesting – Speculative mega-cap tech call options volume has dropped to ~4.5 million in December, near the lowest in over 7 years. 5-day average call volume has declined by ~75% since the 2024 peak, according to Goldman Sachs.

Speculative mega-cap call volume has hit similar levels to those seen near the end of the 2022 bear market. As a result, volume is now ~6 times lower than during the retail trading frenzy in 2020.
