Brandon replay 2

January 20, 2026

Hey, it’s Brandon Chapman.

Yesterday, I went live with a Silent Surge session because something unusual is happening beneath the market’s surface — and Ghost Prints is flagging it early.

If you missed it, the replay is now available.

On the surface, things look bullish. TSM beat expectations. Markets continue to grind higher.
But inside the Ghost Prints Surveillance Console, a very different story is developing.

Put buying across major names has surged — INTC was just one of the more recent examples. As IWM and SPY push toward new highs, institutions are quietly layering in hedges and adjusting them higher as price advances.

Could the market keep climbing? Absolutely.
But a downside pressure system is forming, and Ghost Prints is tracking every institutional footprint as it builds.

That’s the edge — seeing what’s happening before it shows up in price.

In less than a year, I’ve closed 53 winning Ghost Prints trades, including:

  • 375% on KSS in 13 days

  • 222% on PLUG in 48 days

  • 206% on PLUG in 5 days

  • 150% on RKT in 25 hours

  • 100% on SLV in 38 days

  • 72% on SMCI in 2 days


One member put it this way: "I've learned more in three months with Ghost Prints than in 30 years of trading."

In the Silent Surge replay, I break down:

  • What the spike in put buying tells us about institutional positioning

  • How hedges are being added as markets move higher

  • Why this downside pressure system matters now

  • My full Ghost Prints framework for spotting these setups early
