How Options Can Time the Short Squeeze
By Brandon Chapman, CMT
Hey trader,
Stocks with high short interest see some of the most dramatic price spikes you'll ever see.
However, most stocks with high short interest never get that pop. Or if they do, it's long after it's fallen off your radar.
The trick isn't knowing there is fuel (short interest) for the fire. It's knowing WHEN that fuel hits the fire.
THAT'S where options come into the picture.
And today, you'll learn not only how to time these moves but create trades optimized for these opportunities.
The Block Hunter Console flagged two simultaneous 10,000-contract prints in SMR today.
The structure was a pseudo-synthetic: selling the $10 puts and buying the $12.50 calls for March 27 expiration.
Total size was 20,000 contracts on a stock carrying 11.5% short interest.
Let's dig into this trade so you can see EXACTLY how to turn all this information into a trading edge.

Seeing a big block on a high short interest stock is the easy part. Knowing what that block builds is the skill.
The Block Hunter Console gives you four data points on every institutional trade: symbol, direction, target, and timeframe. The real edge comes from reading the structure and understanding the mechanical forces it creates.
The Console lit up opportunities on SILJ (392%), PLUG (222%), and VFC (100% in just 24 hours).
