## Top-Down Scan

A **top-down scan** started the process. On this day, the nuclear and uranium sector showed **relative strength** compared to the broader market, which was weak and leaning lower.

OKLO was a standout. The day before, unusual options activity was seen - OKLO 120 calls for the 02/20 expiry. When bigger money steps out in time like that, it signals interest building underneath the surface.

Mindset: sector strong, OKLO has flow behind it, looking for a clean technical trigger to get involved on the long side.

## News Edge - Catalysts for OKLO

In **News Edge**, a search for OKLO surfaced:

1. **OKLO options trends** - "Behind the Scenes of Oklo's Latest Options Trends" - aligned with the unusual options activity already seen in the tape
2. **U.S. Energy Dept** - seeking input from states for nuclear waste storage, fuel reprocessing, and advanced reactor deployment - OKLO listed among beneficiaries
3. **Bullish analyst initiation** - fresh coverage with Buy rating and aggressive price target

Policy and infrastructure backdrop supporting a bigger move, not just a one-off pop.

## Chart - Key Levels

On the **1-hour chart** for OKLO:

- **86** - key breakout level (price has reacted around this area before)
- **95** - first resistance target
- **100** - next obvious extension

Framework: if OKLO breaks and holds above 86 with this news and flow behind it, position for a move into 95, with 100 as a stretch area.

## Dealer Edge - Why 95 Calls

In **Dealer Edge** for OKLO:

- **Anchor** at 100
- **GEX Rating** 4 (dealers meaningfully positioned)
- **Flip point** around 86
- **Secondary node** at 95

Once above the 86 flip level, dealers are incentivized to pull price toward higher nodes. The structure supports a push into 95 and potentially toward 100. This confirmed the **95 calls** as the right strike.

## Entry

At **9:46 AM**, on the 5-minute chart after the 86 breakout:

- **BTO 10 OKLO 95 calls, 01/30 expiry, at $1.15** each

The 95 strike aligned with the first resistance target on the 1-hour, gave exposure to the move from above 86 toward 95, and Dealer Edge confirmed dealer positioning supported this target.

## Management

Price continued higher but pulled back into **VWAP** - a secondary entry or add-on opportunity. VWAP held, buyers stepped back in.

While the broader market was weak and pushing down, OKLO held trend and respected VWAP. That **relative strength** is what you want when playing a name with a strong catalyst.

## Exit

Into strength at the 95 target zone:

- **STC 10 OKLO 95c 01/30 @ $2.33**
- **+102.6% gain**, ~$1,180 profit
- Pushed the challenge account to **$10,000**

## Process Summary

1. **Sector scan** - nuclear/uranium strength vs weak market
2. **News Edge** - options trends, policy news, analyst initiation
3. **Chart levels** - 86 breakout, 95 and 100 targets
4. **Dealer Edge** - anchor at 100, flip at 86, node at 95 - confirmed 95 calls
5. **Execute** - BTO at 9:46 AM after 86 breakout, manage through VWAP retest, STC at target
