In the last 2 weeks, retail traders bought $22.3 billion in call options on beauties like this.
Assume 75% of those were near-term and 50% of them haven't been closed out.
That's around $8.4 billion evaporated.

21DMA in full breakdown after hitting 14th most overbought day in data history (Top 0.6%).
Still nowhere near oversold.

Will revisit this soon. HAGW! pic.twitter.com/5CpjFfT7yd
