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.

Strategy: Proven Setups in Action

At SetYourStop, we don’t predict—we prepare.

Our system is designed to identify quiet but telling signs—unusual options activity, technical chart structure, or insider buying—that often precede powerful trends. When these signals align, they form the basis of what we call a proven setup.

And that’s exactly what played out with BlackSky Technology (BKSY).

The Original Signal

Back on June 5, BKSY appeared in both our Unusual Options Activity Report and Daily Technical Setups. At the time, the stock was trading between $12.07 and $12.67. Call buyers were active across both the June 20 and July 18 expirations, targeting the $12.50 and $15 strikes. Notably, the July trade exceeded prior open interest—indicating fresh positioning.

Options Activity Snapshot from Our Unusual Activity Report

The technicals told the same story: price was consolidating just below horizontal resistance, forming a tight structure with room to expand.

Our Weekend Report on June 6 reaffirmed the setup, calling attention to the narrowing range and the potential for a breakout.

The Breakout Begins

By June 20, the breakout was underway. After a bullish flag retest on June 19, price action surged nearly 12%, breaking above horizontal resistance with volume confirmation. The setup was also shared across our social media channels and featured in that evening’s nightly report, reinforcing the momentum signal for our readers and followers.

Earlier that same session, our options scanner detected aggressive call buying for the November 21 $12.50 strike, with over $164,000 in premium paid—a trade marked Size > Prior OI. It was clear: positioning was building, and momentum was shifting.

The Follow-Through

Since the initial breakout, BKSY has continued to trend higher, respecting its upward-sloping moving averages in line with our system’s core rules. By June 25, the stock hit a high of $20.95, marking a gain of over 65% from the original alert.

This type of price action—where technical structure and bullish options flow align, and the move sustains—is exactly what we aim to capture.

And importantly, BKSY was not a one-day alert. We continued to highlight the name in multiple reports as the setup evolved, from early consolidation to breakout to trend confirmation.
