Options flow vs technical analysis - why one actually catches tops and bottoms while the other gets rekt.
TA chasers are always late. They're reading yesterday's price action like it's a crystal ball.
Options data? That's where the real money shows their hand BEFORE the move happens. Big players hedge, position, and telegraph their bets through strikes and volume.
When you see massive put walls building or call sweeps at specific strikes, that's not noise - that's institutional positioning.
TA tells you what happened. Options tell you what's about to happen.
The difference? Catching the actual turn vs buying the top and selling the bottom like retail always does.
