What will probably happen

• Expect a directional follow-through within 3-5 sessions — large block prints typically resolve into a clear trend once lit-market participants respond.
• If short_pct stays above 0.55 for 3 consecutive days, treat the move as a committed institutional campaign, not a one-day blip.

What to do

If you HOLD this stock

The sustained rise in off-exchange share suggests an active institutional campaign. Hold your position — the institutional flow is likely aligned with the prevailing trend. Tighten your stop only if the chart breaks a key support level.

If you TRADE this stock (no options)

Lean with the prevailing chart trend — the rising off-exchange share suggests institutional momentum. Enter on the first lit-market pullback toward support.

If you trade OPTIONS

The directional tail risk is elevated — consider long calls or a bull call spread in line with the chart trend. Avoid naked premium sales until the regime stabilises.
