The unusual signal flashing green again (Ad)

Something fascinating happened in April... While a lot of Wall Street institutions were opening new positions in a falling stock, something different showed up on my screen. A special set of candles had just turned green - signaling the kind of momentum surge I'd seen only a handful of times before. What happened next? The stock soared 45% on the underlying stock in just a few weeks and 227% for anyone who traded the options. Naturally, there would have been smaller wins and those that would not have worked out, but this wasn't some penny stock or crypto play… It was ARM Holdings - a major semiconductor player that had just shed 9% of its value.

I’ve put together everything you need to know here.
