Note:
The examples and setups featured in this article are not presented as precise entry or exit points, nor are they intended to suggest that anyone could have captured the exact bottom or top. Rather, they are meant to highlight the potential of the move based on the data we provide. Our focus is on identifying asymmetrical opportunities—where even capturing a portion of the move can be highly meaningful. As with George Soros’s famous short of the British pound—where the full potential was $3 billion, but only $1 billion was realized—the value lies in recognizing the setup, not perfection. Our institutional clients understand this well: they use our signals as a foundation and apply their own strategies to extract what fits their model. Success often comes from capturing the meat of the move, not chasing extremes.

Disclaimer:
SetYourStop.com does not tell anyone what to buy or sell. We are a research company. The data we publish highlights signals of potential momentum or positioning that appear on our radar through daily monitoring of price action, volume, and institutional activity. These examples are meant to demonstrate how the data helps surface potential opportunities—not to suggest specific trades or outcomes. It is up to each individual to decide how they want to use the information. Our institutional clients value this work because we do the homework—they take the data, run it through their own models and strategies, and determine what fits. We present the research—what happens next is up to the end user.

At SetYourStop, we track early signs of positioning that often precede momentum—especially when they align with constructive price structure. One such example recently unfolded in Unity Software (U), where unusual options activity helped flag a breakout before it happened.

The Signal: July 2

In the SYS Research – Unusual Activity Report on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, Unity Software stood out for its concentrated call buying across multiple expirations. Traders focused on the $24 and $26.50 strikes, targeting both at-the-money and out-of-the-money contracts. The stock was trading between $24.22 and $24.36 at the time, and total call premium approached $297,959.

The move came quickly.

By July 5, just three trading days after the initial signal, Unity surged to a high of 29.40, marking a +21.1% gain from the original callout at 24.28.

The Continuation: July 17

Following the initial surge to $29.40, Unity Software (U) continued to climb in the weeks ahead, eventually reaching a high of $38.94. This extended the total move to +60.4% from the original callout at $24.28. The sustained strength underscores the effectiveness of combining options flow with technical structure. What began as concentrated call buying near $24 evolved into a robust breakout, confirming both the signal and the setup over time.

What It Shows

This sequence—flow before price, structure confirming setup—is a prime example of how our system is designed to work. The options activity surfaced first, pointing to unusual interest at a key level. Then the chart confirmed, building structure before breaking out with force.

Unity is now above former resistance. We’ll continue to monitor to see if a trend develops—or if this was a short-term expansion off the base.
