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.

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 don’t guess—we observe. Our system is built to surface quiet signals that often precede powerful moves. Whether it’s unusual options activity, insider buying, or clear technical patterns, the momentum scanner highlights setups that deserve a closer look.

And sometimes, as we’ve seen time and time again, someone always knows something.

Here’s a perfect example.

Case Study: BlackSky Technology (BKSY)

On June 5, our momentum scanner flagged bullish options activity in BlackSky Technology (BKSY). Traders were actively buying calls across both the June 20 and July 18, 2025 expirations, targeting $12.50 and $15 strikes. The larger July position was noted as exceeding prior open interest—indicating new bullish positioning. The total premium paid across both trades was $85,100.

At the time, BKSY was trading between $12.07 and $12.67, and our technical setup report pointed out the stock was consolidating just below horizontal resistance—a common precursor to breakout behavior. This combination of fresh positioning and tightening chart structure placed BKSY firmly on our radar.

Our Weekend Report on June 6 reiterated this, noting how the stock was continuing to set up for a potential breakout.

Then came June 20.

The Breakout

After a bullish flag retest of the triangle’s lower trendline on June 19, price action ramped higher into the close on June 20, gaining nearly 12% with a surge in volume and breaking out above horizontal resistance. This surge was initiated earlier in the session, when our options scanner detected aggressive call buying at 10:45 a.m., targeting the November 21, 2025 $12.50 strike—a trade marked as Size > Prior OI, with over $164,000 in premium paid.

This type of move—following consolidation, flagged options flow, and technical confirmation—is a textbook example of how our system is designed to work.

Now, BKSY has entered the next phase: trend confirmation.

We’re watching closely to see if price action can continue trending higher and walk above its upward-sloping moving averages, in alignment with the system rules highlighted at the top of every report.

What It Means

At SetYourStop, we combine data and discipline.

Unusual options flow can be a powerful signal—but when paired with technical structure, it becomes a strategic edge. The BKSY setup wasn’t about prediction—it was about preparation.

And it’s another reminder that momentum leaves footprints—if you know where to look.
