Whoa. Take a look at this.
Something caught the market’s attention around
$PYPL
before the Stripe acquisition rumors started circulating.
One trader reportedly loaded up nearly
$300K into
$PYPL
$50 calls expiring 08/07/2026, along with other strike prices, before the headlines hit.
The position exploded higher, showing gains of 500%+.
A few hundred thousand turned into a multi-million dollar trade.
Was it timing, research, or something else?
Either way - the unusual options activity was impossible to ignore
