Short-term play

Consensus capitulation

Names matching setups historically tied to large short-term moves. Not portfolio recommendations — short-term trades are catalyst-driven and only a fraction work out.

Highest-conviction long. When a name appears in two or more of the contrarian cohorts (bounce, bullish-divergence, gap-capitulation) on the same day, multiple independent mechanisms agree that selling is exhausting. Historically the strongest sub-cohort in the repo.

Recommended position

Structure
Long 100 % strike call · short 115 % strike call · 30 days to expiry (mirrors bullish_div)
Take profit
Close at +100 % of capital at risk
Stop loss
Close at −50 % of capital at risk
Expected per trade
Highest-conviction long: +9 % underlying at 40d, +23 % at 60d (OOS, 3+ trigger consensus).
Thesis
Two or more independent contrarian setups firing on the same name within a short window. The 30-DTE debit call spread captures the directional move efficiently.
