Whoa, dude, check this out. I scanned the options tape for any big-money YOLO bets on
$CHPT right before the earnings drop, and it's a ghost town. Crickets.
Basically, no whales came out to play. The system didn't flag any massive, five-figure-plus premium trades on either calls or puts in the days leading up to the announcement.
This means that monster gap-up was likely a bunch of us apes catching the shorts with their pants down, or the big funds were playing 4D chess and hiding their moves with tiny trades. Either way, it wasn't some obvious, telegraphed play by the institutions, which makes this whole thing even more of a wild card.
