Ford's 25,000-Contract Bullish Bet Has a Problem
By Brandon Chapman, CMT
Hey trader,
Someone just made a massive bullish bet on Ford.
The Ghost Prints Surveillance Console flagged 25,000 call contracts bought at the $14.50 strike for March 13 expiration.
That same trade included puts sold at the $13.50 strike. It created a bullish combination trade with a cumulative delta of 57.
Ford missed on earnings and still rallied. Now institutional money is positioning for a breakout above $14.50.
There is just one problem. The fundamentals do not support the price.
The PEG ratio sits at 10.84. The dividend yield is at a five-year low.
Revenue projections are flat. The only reason earnings estimates improved is because the company is slashing EV spending.
This is a case study in how to evaluate whether flow deserves your capital or your caution. The Ghost Prints Console caught the trade.
Now you need to understand what it means.
You can avoid the trade setup where most traders get trapped.
The squeeze trap. It happens when a short squeeze gets started, only to evaporate. Miserably.
A gamma squeeze play can be great. The Ghost Prints Surveillance Console lit up opportunities on KSS (375% in 13 days), PLUG (206% in 5 days), and on VFC (100% in just 24 hours).
Of course you want to find these excellent opportunities.
Along the way you need to skip over the pit of despair, the trap waiting to suck you in.
👉 Let me show you how to identify the three impostor setups so you don't get trapped.
