This is truly unusual, disgustingly insane trading.
Earlier this morning, a trader opened more than 5000 $VKTX 33C expiring TODAY!!!!
Hours later, there was a buyout rumor on $VKTX. Reminder, these options were fully OTM, expiring TODAY!
$VKTX exploded and the calls jumped +700% in two hours.
They made millions.
Unusual.
