Someone Bet $11 Million on SpaceX Calls Right as the Shorts Got Squeezed.

Wasn't the lockup supposed to break SpaceX? Short interest sat above 25% into the event, nearly a billion shares came free to trade, and the crowd leaned in for a drop. Instead the stock rose on unlock day and kept going the next session. On Signal vs Noise we walk roughly $11 million in SpaceX call premium, and why the flow tells a bigger story than a one-week squeeze. The tell is in the timing. An expensive weekly call went up first, but as shares hit their all-time low, buyers reached further out into October and December at some of the cheapest volatility on the board, positioning for the market to reprice SpaceX over weeks and months, not hours. Tesla got a matching wave of call buying as sympathy spillover. The signal is the overhang clearing. The noise is whether Tesla is just riding the coattails. All views are the show's and this is not a recommendation. 📊 tastylive: https://www.tastylive.com/ 📰 Get Tom's pre-market analysis every morning: https://www.tastylive.com/newsletters 📘 FREE Options Strategy Guide: https://tinyurl.com/bp9ms763 📱 Follow tastylive on X: https://x.com/tastyliveshow Chapters: 00:00 Wasn't the lockup supposed to break it 00:22 The unlock that didn't crash the stock 01:15 The trade starts to flip 01:21 Inside the SpaceX call flow 02:32 The part that looks planned 02:52 A repricing bet, not a squeeze 03:28 Now over to Tesla 04:50 Overhang clearing versus sympathy 05:18 Good numbers, hated spending 05:32 Catalysts around the corner 06:07 Signal or noise #tastylive #signalvsnoise #spacex #tesla #options #optionstrading #shortsqueeze #unusualoptionsactivity #tsla #stockmarket tastylive is a real financial network, producing hours of live programming every day.
