LIVE AT 2:30 PM ET: MY NO. 1 TRADE TO ENTER BEFORE THANKSGIVING!
MicroStrategy (MSTR) is making waves — but not for the reasons you’d hope…
Unlike Tesla’s dominance in the EV market, this Bitcoin-tied stock has been on a volatile ride, with retail traders jumping in at eye-watering levels — $450–$480 — only to face swift reversals.
The stock’s all-time intraday high just over $543 was hit on Nov. 21, and the all-time closing high is $474, hit on Nov. 20. It’s up this morning but like I said in the video linked below, a dead cat bounce was expected…
Here’s the breakdown:
💔 Insider Selling & Bearish Bets: Heavy selling pressure and a bearish tilt are sending clear warning signals.
📉 Bitcoin’s Decline Amplifies Pain: If Bitcoin slips 4%, MicroStrategy amplifies the drop to 6–7%.
🎯 Max Pain Levels: Expect further downside — a flush below $372 could trigger panic selling, dragging prices into the $320–$350 range.
Bottom Line: Retail traders caught in the FOMO may want to cut their losses. For savvy players, the key lies in understanding market psychology — where “dumb money” flows, opportunities follow.

Order Flow:
It’s a pretty slow week for earnings, but we do have a couple of big names like Dell (DELL) and CrowdStrike (CRWD), which is on the expensive side.
We actually saw call SELLERS in CRWD, so if we see puts hit the scanner(s), I may look to go bearish.
But the ticker we’ve seen the most orders in lately is Iris Energy (IREN). We saw two bullish orders today on the Penny Options Scanner, and another on the higher-dollar News Flow Scanner…
Traders hit the weekly expiration, $10.50 strike on the Penny Scanner, and the biggest order was in the March $11 calls…
That’s way too far out for our taste, but still in the money.
Of course, we like cheap options around here — $0.55 vs. $2.50 per contract — so if we felt particularly strong about this earnings event, we’d go with a shorter time frame.
As for DELL, we saw an order in the weekly $144 calls… but they’re much too rich for our taste at $6.40 a contract. With shares trading right at $143 and market makers expecting a move of $12.06 higher or lower, one could reasonably go out a few more bucks. But even the $150 calls are still expensive at $4.00 per contract.
And they’re weekly options so if wrong or the stock doesn’t move enough…
It can and will go to $0 fast.
Finally, we saw a pretty big Broadcom (AVGO) bull come in and snag the Jan. 3, $140 calls. These are deep in the money with shares trading at $164 this afternoon, so this is likely a stock replacement play.
If you like this play, one could reasonably go out to the $170 strike.

P.S. $300K+ Shadow Sweep Order on Overlooked Stock
This one stock that I believe hardly anyone is looking at…
Just had a $300,000+ in Shadow Sweep hit it.
Which means this stock just moved from some random ticker in the market…
To what could potentially become a high-conviction trade setup for us.
I know this week is supposed to be “boring,” where every trader sits on the sidelines in anticipation of Thanksgiving…
But not me 😀
In fact, at 2:30 p.m. ET, I’m hosting a FREE class where I’ll expose the details of this stock…
How I spotted the MASSIVE Shadow Sweep order on it…
And I’m giving folks a chance to hop on what could be my best Thanksgiving trade in history!
