High V/OI often implies that a trader is opening a new position with an unusual amount. Options activities are filtered based on the following criteria:
Options trade with V/OI≥10, while OI of the contract must be ≥10.
Options trade with premium≥$50,000.
The underlying asset of selected options must be individual stock with a market cap≥$5 billion.

High interest rates are not the "end" of US stocks? Is profitability the real key?
JPMorgan believes that profit growth is the key factor determining the resilience of U.S. stock valuations. Data since 1950 shows an "inverted U-shaped" relationship between the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield and S&P 500 valuations. Based on current profit levels, yields would need to reach about 5%-6% to significantly compress valuations. As long as profit growth remains above 15%, there is still room for valuations to be re-rated. If the yield curve steepens in a bear market, cyclical sectors such as energy and financials will benefit more; if it flattens, technology stocks will have a relative advantage.
