ASTS launch set for Xmas Eve! But look at the $75 order flow... Am I the only one seeing these weird block trades before the LVM3 ignitio

I've been staring at the BlueBird 6 launch countdown all morning, and honestly, I'm feeling conflicted right now.

On one hand, the launch on the 24th could be the biggest Christmas present ever. But if you look at the trading data this morning, the price action around $75 is almost identical to RKLB yesterday – a perfect mission, 21 successful launches, but the stock price stalled when institutions started selling off.

I'm seeing some huge "off-exchange" sell orders piling up around $72.50 in the dark pool. I'm wondering if the "smart money" is worried about a launch delay due to weather, or if they're just preparing for a "buy the rumor, sell the news" scenario on Thursday morning.

I hold 2000 shares and some January call options, but these institutional trading clusters are making me question whether my all-in bet was the right move.

What are your plans? Are you holding out for $100, or are you planning to reduce your position before liquidity dries up during the holidays?
