Celsius Holdings Inc (CELH) experienced a price increase of 3.37%, reaching a 20-day high. This movement comes as the Nasdaq-100 rose by 1.18% and the S&P 500 gained 0.82%.
The surge in CELH's stock price is attributed to significant options trading activity, with a total of 34,690 contracts traded today, indicating strong market interest. Notably, the $50 strike call option expiring on January 16, 2026, saw a high volume of 7,192 contracts, reflecting bullish expectations among investors.
This heightened trading activity suggests that investors are optimistic about CELH's future performance, potentially driven by broader market trends and increased demand for options.
