$Opendoor Technologies Inc(OPEN)$ $Carvana Co.(CVNA)$ $GameStop(GME)$ 👩🏼💻🚀📈 Opendoor ignition: will this be the 100‑bag breakout? 📈🚀
💥 A candle that altered the calculus
On 18Jul25, $OPEN’s 2.5 C 08Aug25 contract registered a $268K premium burst in one five‑minute window, closing at $0.64 from a $0.53 average. The total day’s premium reached $741K. With volume over 14,000 contracts, I’ll be tracking Monday’s open interest to assess whether this was tactical or structural positioning. If that volume converts, it signals conviction ahead of earnings, not speculative churn.
📢 When a thesis goes viral and valuation re‑prices in real time
Opendoor Technologies ($OPEN), long considered an overleveraged relic of the SPAC era, re-entered market focus following a 14Jul25 X post from EMJ Capital’s Eric Jackson. His bullish thesis cited a full business turnaround and projected a long-term target of $82. Jackson’s early call on Carvana adds weight. Since his post, $OPEN has tripled from $0.83 to over $2.25, with trading activity surging 140% relative to the monthly average.
📊 Options flow points to strategic accumulation
On 18Jul25, call activity dominated: 1.1M contracts traded versus just 193K puts. Net call premium surged to $5.87M. This is not meme-only momentum; these are deliberate, asymmetrically leveraged bets. The skew in open interest and dollar flow suggests funds are positioning into the Q2 earnings catalyst, not fading the rally.
📈 Technicals confirm a regime shift
The weekly chart broke decisively above the $1.70–$1.80 supply band, closing at $2.25 with a 189% surge. Volume supports the move, indicating it is not retail-driven noise. Prior resistance is now firm support, and we’ve transitioned from base to breakout. A modest pullback or pause is technically healthy here, but the trajectory has clearly changed.
🗯 Social momentum becomes a force multiplier
$OPEN now holds the top discussion spot on r/wallstreetbets, with over a dozen new options-based posts gathering 2,000+ comments in 24 hours. If that level of community attention sustains, it can create a reflexive feedback loop: flow begets narrative, and narrative drives further flow. If TheRoaringKitty were to appear, Jackson’s $82 target may prove conservative.
📅 Earnings in sight: structural re-pricing or speculative climax?
Opendoor reports earnings on 05Aug25. Consensus estimates project a narrower loss of −$0.03, a marked improvement from Q1’s −$0.13. If management confirms margin progress and improved unit economics, this current re-rating could extend. However, failure to meet expectations would likely unwind speculative layers quickly.
🧮 Positioning risk: asymmetric or overheated?
Short interest remains elevated at over 25%, but recent action suggests bearish capacity has diminished. While retail enthusiasm is visible, so is the institutional presence. Still, risk remains: sentiment-driven trades can unwind rapidly if momentum stumbles. ETFs like BUZZ are stretched well above long-term moving averages, signaling potential overcrowding in the trade.
🐋 Whale conviction is spreading beyond $OPEN
This week also saw notable positioning in $GME, a stock synonymous with retail-driven volatility and sentiment surges. On 17Jul25, a $309K premium block hit the tape on the $GME 26 C 19Sep25 contract. The next day, 1,411 out of the 1,660 contracts converted into open interest, signaling deliberate intent rather than short-term speculation. That 85% retention rate is a classic footprint of institutional or high-conviction trading. Taken alongside the surge in $OPEN call flow, this points to a broader market pivot toward legacy meme names with asymmetric risk-reward setups.
🧠 Thesis clarity outweighs short-term volatility
This setup isn’t simply about the next 10% move. It’s about understanding whether the recent flows represent the early stages of a multi-quarter re-rating. The alignment between social energy, institutional flow, and a fresh fundamental narrative presents a unique setup. I’m not merely observing the trade; I’m evaluating the structure and durability of the underlying thesis.
