The Hidden Trades Behind Today’s Rally

Brandon just uncovered something most traders will never see.

While everyone watched the market rally 1.13% on China trade deal optimism, massive institutional money quietly positioned for explosive moves in stocks you’ve probably never heard of.

The market looks calm on the surface. Tech earnings are coming. Microsoft reports Wednesday. Amazon and Meta on Thursday. The big boys are catching a bid.

But underneath, Brandon spotted trades that signal something far more interesting.

He found 49,000 call option contracts on Huntsman. The stock sits in a downtrend at support. Earnings are upcoming. On paper, this looks like something you wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole.

Yet someone just made one of the biggest option bets of the day on this stock breaking through $10. When gamma levels like this get breached, stocks don’t move incrementally. They explode.

Then there’s ASST. Brandon tracked buying across multiple strike prices today:

  • 10,000 contracts on the $15 calls
  • 17,000 contracts across the $2-$4 strikes
  • 82,000 total contracts on October 31st calls alone
  • Stock already up 47% with potential for much more

This creates what Brandon calls a “multi-stage rocket.” Break $2, squeeze to $3. Break $3, squeeze to $4. The pattern repeats.

This specific stock has already proven it can move from current levels to $13 twice in the past six months. Today’s gain might just be the beginning of the next cycle.

These aren’t random trades. 

Brandon’s Ghost Prints Surveillance Console isolates exactly this type of institutional activity. 

The platform narrows 1,600 daily trades down to the 30-40 that actually matter. One click shows you the biggest block trades. Another click reveals stocks with massive gamma squeeze potential.

You’re not chasing breakouts after they happen. You’re seeing the pressure build before the move occurs.
