The Ghost Prints Console Reveals What Others Miss

It sees how big money option trades position BEFORE the move.

It’s how I scooped up 375% on KSS in just 13 days… 150% on RKT in 25 HOURS… and 206% on PLUG in just 5 day

Monday at 2PM EST, I’ll show you exactly what it’s highlighting right now.

And let me tell you…what it’s showing me flies in the face of everything you hear in the financial news.

Major Call Buying Hits Chinese Stocks

By Brandon Chapman, CMT

Everyone assumed Chinese stocks were dead…they’re wrong.

The Ghost Prints Console lit up yesterday with some of the most aggressive call buying I've seen in Chinese stocks in months.

Someone bought 70,999 call spreads in KWEB in a single print. Another trader scooped up nearly 8,000 calls at the $43 strike.

These aren't retail traders throwing around lunch money. This is institutional money making a directional bet.

It turns out that was just the beginning.

Today brought another wave: ASHR saw 8,683 call spreads hit the tape in one print. The buyer went long the $35 calls and sold the $39 calls.

All expiring in March 2026. This is a defined risk bet with clear upside targets.

Oh, and then someone bought 29,997 calls in EEM at the $58 strike. Nearly 30,000 calls in a single print.

What exactly do these guys know? And how can we position ourselves to take advantage of this information?

Allow me to show you.

The Trade I'm Making

Based on this activity, I sent out a trade to Ghost Prints members:

Sorry, the exact details are only for Ghost Prints members.

This trade captures the same directional thesis as the institutional prints we've been tracking using a call debt spread to define my risk.

I know exactly what I could lose in this trade, $55 per spread, the debit that I pay.

The January expiration gives the trade time to develop.

It stays ahead of the March prints we observed in the order flow.

What These Prints Actually Mean

Call buying of this magnitude creates gamma pressure on market makers. When traders buy large blocks of calls, dealers on the other side have to hedge their exposure.

They typically do this by buying the underlying stock as the price moves higher.

This hedging activity can accelerate upward moves. The stock rises. Dealers buy more shares to stay hedged. The stock rises further. The cycle feeds itself.

We're seeing this setup across multiple Chinese equity vehicles.

KWEB tracks Chinese internet stocks. ASHR focuses on large-cap Chinese shares traded in Shanghai.

EEM provides broad emerging market exposure. China represents roughly 30% of the EEM portfolio. That makes it the largest country weight by far.

The timing matters. These prints hit over two consecutive days.

This suggests coordinated positioning rather than random noise.

Why Chinese Stocks Now

Several catalysts could be driving this positioning.

The Federal Reserve announces its next policy decision next week. If the Fed signals a pause or hints at future cuts, the dollar could weaken.

A weaker dollar benefits foreign stocks. It makes them relatively cheaper for U.S. investors.

It improves the competitiveness of exports from those countries.

China's position in the AI race presents another angle. U.S. tech stocks have dominated AI investment flows.

But China has been aggressively developing its own AI capabilities.

Investment capital could begin rotating from crowded U.S. tech names toward Chinese AI players. That would drive significant flows.

Chinese government support for their domestic markets adds a third possibility. Beijing has shown willingness to intervene when their markets face pressure.

Any announcement of stimulus measures or policy support could trigger sharp moves higher.

These questions about future catalysts can't be definitively answered today. What we can observe is that large traders are positioning for upside.

The options market is creating the exact type of gamma pressure that can force stocks higher.

The fundamental reasons become secondary when this kind of positioning takes hold.

What Happens Next

Watch for continued call buying in these names.

Additional large prints over the coming days would confirm that this positioning is building rather than complete.

The Fed announcement next week serves as a clear catalyst date. Price action around that event will tell us whether this bet has legs.

Chinese stocks have been beaten down for years. Investor sentiment remains deeply negative.

That creates the exact conditions where large money can position ahead of a reversal. The crowd stays skeptical. Smart money accumulates quietly.

The options market is signaling something. Whether that signal proves correct remains to be seen.

What's certain is that major players are placing substantial bets on upside in Chinese equities heading into 2026.
