Brandon Chapman here.
Last week, XLU printed fresh all-time highs.
Crowds were piling in. I wasn't.
When I checked the options flow, I saw 15,000 puts sweep in on a single Friday. That wasn't random activity — it was a message. Anyone buying shares that day was likely just filling orders for bigger players positioning the other way.
By Tuesday, my bearish spread was sitting on a 30% gain.
The same thing happened around earnings in another name. Retail setups looked constructive on the surface. But beneath that, more than 31,000 puts were being accumulated ahead of the report. That's not small traders. That's size.
I marked it, leaned bearish, and closed the trade for a 100% win the day after earnings.
That isn't guesswork. It's recognizing institutional pressure before price catches up.
This Monday at 2PM ET, I'm going live to break down exactly how I track it.

For weeks, the market has been stuck inside a tight 3% range.
But under the surface, downside positioning has been building. I'm seeing new signals that suggest the compression phase may be close to resolving — and when it does, the move could be fast.
On Monday, I'll show you:
-
How to detect institutional pressure before the breakout
-
Why the 3% range is nearing a decision point — and which side has the edge
-
The squeeze traps I sidestepped last week
-
What my Ghost Print dashboard is signaling right now
-
How to separate real momentum from engineered traps
Monday. 2PM ET. Don't miss it.

I'm also tracking unusual activity in oil and metals. Oil futures are flashing backwardation. Large spread trades are moving through GLD and SLV. With the dollar soft, commodities could be setting up for a meaningful run — and I'm monitoring the flow in real time.
See you Monday,
Brandon Chapman
P.S. I don't trade headlines. I track positioning. That's how I avoided the traps in Walmart and Oracle while still capturing high-probability setups. On Monday, I'll walk you through the exact framework I use.
