Barrie Einarson highlighted how the stock was already showing unusual strength in the pre-market, trading around the $11 area before the opening bell. Once the market opened, momentum accelerated aggressively, leading to a massive breakout move.
Key points from the session:
- OSS was identified as a pre-market earnings play
- Strong pre-market action hinted at institutional interest
- The stock exploded immediately after the open
- At the time of recording, shares were up approximately 63%
- The move pushed the stock to an all-time high
Barrie noted that many traders in the Trade Ideas room captured the move long, while he personally was evaluating whether a short opportunity might develop near the top — something he emphasized is one of the hardest setups to time correctly during a parabolic momentum run.
Despite the extended move, he mentioned the stock still looked technically strong intraday and would remain on watch for the following session to see whether:
- momentum continuation develops, or
- the stock experiences a sharp reversal/fade after the emotional earnings spike.
This was a classic example of:
- an earnings catalyst,
- heavy relative volume,
- strong pre-market positioning,
- and explosive momentum continuation after the open.
