The $2 Million Coinbase Bet Before Earnings
By Brandon Chapman, CMT
Hey trader,
Most traders see a roll and think someone's cutting losses…
…Especially when calls move down from $200 to $170.
That looks like damage control. Like institutional money admitting defeat and salvaging what's left.
But misreading rolls costs traders real opportunities.
Because when someone pays MORE to roll down while INCREASING delta exposure, they're not retreating. They're setting a trap.
This morning, 12,000 contracts moved in Coinbase ahead of February 12th earnings.
I'll show you exactly what this trade structure reveals about institutional positioning, why the $170 strike just became a gamma squeeze level, and how to profit from the mechanical buying pressure this creates as the stock approaches that target.
The Ghost Prints Console caught this at 10:28 AM.
Most traders won't notice until it's too late.
