Key Takeaways from $SOLY’s Major Short Squeeze (+Free Video)

Today was an incredible day in the Investors Underground community. This is 100% WHY we stay familiar with charts, flip through them nightly and keep recent movers fresh in our minds. We’ve just come off an intense three or four month stretch of IPO after IPO literally opening up double vs. pricing and then doubling again. We’ve seen TIGR gain momentum and squeeze shorts, we’ve seen PINS come out swinging and BYND still pressing near highs. Then, there was SOLY which was one of the thinnest of the bunch, traded exceptionally well and then the day after they presented some data over the weekend bids were gone, sellers arrived and a negative article came out setting the trap in a major way.

The Thought Process on the Trade

Here were early thoughts on chart potential (hit $22.25)

$SOLY ❤ had a feeling and went with it … sensing that trap and bent short. Focus as usual? The 🥩 meat of the move 👍 props to those in the chat room who nailed as well. Incredible start to week. Head down and on to… https://t.co/UkKBxDXffu

Why do I care?

Trading is all about the audience right? Sometimes if the audience is too big on one side, it can set up for a disaster. In this case, shorts were totally trapped. Pleaded their case all day while this didn’t matter meanwhile they just got ran over. Sometimes people forget just how thin names are. People forget that a name with 10 million volume rather quickly is not something to fight or think that news or more importantly reality even matters. This is where the “Trader the Ticker not the company” came from. It doesn’t mean fundamentals don’t matter, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t know what you’re trading, what it means is — all those folks who spent all day bashing on Twitter that the 510(k) was BS, nonsense and didn’t matter ignored the price action, ignored what the name was telling us and thus got ran over betting against the name. Yes, eventually truth and reality will matter but on the front side, trade the ticker ie: the price action and most important respect the volume!!

Here’s the early thoughts as soon as it checked all the boxes for this sort of trade (remember the video we talked about categorizing trades on YouTube?)

Highest volume day since IPO

Could have been trap of century

Straight down since hit piece – up on air attracts more shorts today.

Gonna be an interesting afternoon.

Reminds me back when $LFIN was wild

Volume tells the story.

Someone still has an issue, they're trying to crack it here midday but failing so far.

Ideally comes in and traps $11.60-11.80s would be amazing but if not, hopefully sets up for monster close.

This won't be a one day situation IMO.

When they can't crack it, you need to take note.

VWAP never failed.

They let it get long crowded and flushed them out hard.

When they got too aggressive they yanked the bids creating appearance that it may be a good time to short.

Nope, trap.

Beauty from 11.60-80s goal

So, here are my trades on it:

SOLY Trade Recap Video

Here’s a video recap comparing it to recent discussions we’ve had and most importantly why I am happy with my exits where I did, because we can’t always see the right side of the chart right? We have to use the left to predict the right, and once the RIGHT side proves we can then make additional decisions.

Really nice alert here $SOLY

Straight into a circuit halt has been very beat.

Nice job. https://t.co/ddK2TB9viP

11:57:15 am InvestorsLive: opinion hasn’t really changed but I know my weakness
11:57:22 am InvestorsLive: and that = over stay when I am sized
11:59:00 am InvestorsLive: someone seriously bent SOLY but just feels like they need to re trap – its surprising b/c its actually relatively hard to borrow
11:59:15 am InvestorsLive: ideally 1-2 hour consolidation and dip a bit trap a bit then have an opportunity later, congrats to those who took trade. very clean.
12:03:51 pm InvestorsLive: SOLY not coming off radar – focus for later 100%

12:04:00 pm InvestorsLive: here to help in lounge
12:11:53 pm InvestorsLive: SOLY some covers prob
12:12:20 pm InvestorsLive: trading it as well just scalps tho was trying to be patient with the $9s avg but that didn’t last too long ha
12:13:34 pm InvestorsLive: 11.60-11.80 goal sub lull for me
12:32:23 pm InvestorsLive: Shorts are so trapped SOLY
12:48:46 pm InvestorsLive: SOLY filtering a lot of folks out here but not dying
12:48:57 pm InvestorsLive: this is the area where you learn what it wants for later
12:51:55 pm InvestorsLive: SOLY they couldn’t crack it
01:10:43 pm InvestorsLive: SOLY good reads
01:21:30 pm InvestorsLive: my thought process is everyone plays for squeeze into close SOLY and they’ll be early and I think they dunk the chasers controlled into close – not a full dunk just controlled yank. Then in coming days when most lose off radar I think we’ll have the real action. Just my two cents still trading it off wash outs and selling rips but just thinking out loud.
01:22:21 pm InvestorsLive: was there 1230-1260s and offering out 1320-1350s etc around core until picks a trend
01:22:51 pm InvestorsLive: mmhmmm

02:26:56 pm InvestorsLive: 12:13:34 pm InvestorsLive: 11.60-11.80 goal sub lull for me
02:27:04 pm InvestorsLive: re: SOLY and fast swipe back so nearly buck padding
02:51:59 pm Amp: SOLY shew
02:52:06 pm InvestorsLive: Just food for thought (LFIN chart)
02:52:15 pm TWB52: SOLY moly!
03:06:49 pm InvestorsLive: again if you think back even OTLK most recent – but BPTH etc the stuff that really went was kinda weak and let shorts “win” into close and by win I mean didn’t squeeze out into close but just sorta flattish slow fade but stayed in trend
04:05:10 pm Mcawiley: SOLY through 15
04:05:31 pm t3p0: Thanks Nate, great calls all day
04:05:39 pm InvestorsLive: SOLY nothing to see here
