For the final session before the Christmas holiday, aerospace specialist Rocket Lab (RKLB) represented one of the top winners, gaining nearly 23% against the prior session. Unsurprisingly, RKLB stock also ranked among the top entities in terms of unusual options volume. From available data, it appears that the overwhelming consensus is for shares to continue rising higher. Still, market speculators may want to exercise caution.
