Rocket Companies was about to report earnings after the close.
Poll a thousand traders: Is Rocket going to beat? Miss? Does it even matter?
Most were guessing.
Brandon Chapman wasn't guessing. He was watching something else entirely.
July 31st: Someone bought 30,000 call contracts in one trade.
Think about that for a moment. Who buys 30,000 contracts in a single transaction?
"It ain't you and it ain't me. These are institutional investors punking down one or two million dollars on a trade. These are significant and they move the market."
But wait - there was more. At the exact same time, they also bought the $17.50 calls.
Total: 60,000 contracts. One institution. One conviction.
Would you have wanted to know this information the day before earnings?
Here's what happened next: Rocket jumped 22% in three days.
Brandon bought calls the next day. Sold for 150% gain.
"The fact that we're buying those calls creates the squeeze. If you've been hearing this word 'squeeze' a lot... just realize this is exactly what they're referencing."
Brandon calls them "squeeze bars" - rare chart patterns that signal pressure building before the breakout. The calm before the eruption.
The problem? Most traders never see them coming.
They're watching MACD. RSI. Moving averages. Lagging indicators that tell you what already happened.
Meanwhile, institutions are positioning. Real money is moving. And by the time price reacts, you're already late.
Ghost Prints Weekly changes that.

"All we can ask for as traders is give me a heads up before these moves happen. Give me an opportunity to trade it. Rather than always having to react after the fact and dealing with the aftermath."
30,000 contracts. One signal. 150% gain.
Next week's signal is coming. Will you see it?

P.S. "Why does this big blue bar keep leading us to the money?" That's what Brandon calls a squeeze bar - the signal that precedes institutional-driven moves. He's spent 18 years perfecting this methodology. You can access it every week.
