We might see a sudden drop , or even some red today but nobody is selling these are shorties using sunthetics and short ladder attacks as usual to suppress the momentum. I'm holding the fucking line, we will squeeze them this week .

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO BABY

Everyone, calm down. We’re on a good run the next push is much more likely than before. Just be patient. I think we’ll still end up in double-digit gains. Otherwise, the volume is still wild and strong. The initial target is over a dollar. Short sellers haven’t made a move yet. Things are starting to heat up.

CTB is 45% and climbing, guess who is digging a bigger hole for themselves? Enough of destroying great companies like BEYOUND MEAT.

Shorties will lose it all

LETS GOOOOOO

Let’s make it to two dollars today let’s put pressure on the shorties so we can blast off

This is gonna be a great week but y’all need to keep faith

We could easily hit $1.50–$2 today. After $1.50 and the golden cross at $1.57—which, by the way, is the strongest buy signal there is (triggering so many bots to buy)—there’s no more resistance. I’m holding 10,000 shares at $0.87. Minimum $30k profit.

Where are the bears who’ve been telling me for two months how stupid I am?

The distribution story is where things start to speed up, because high-velocity drinks like Beyond Immerse fit DSD perfectly — skipping warehouses and moving straight from co-packers or hubs into store back rooms with fast restock cycles. It’s the same early path Celsius used before scaling nationally, and it gives Beyond a clear lane to expand via regional DSD partners, especially in dense, health-driven markets like NY and California where gyms, pharmacies, and specialty retail can boost turnover fast. The missing piece is simply connecting those dots — locking in a scaled co-packer and eventually a national U.S. distribution partner to accelerate reach — because once that bridge is built, each added node doesn’t just extend footprint, it compounds visibility, trial, and repeat in a way slower warehouse models just can’t match.

Layered into this is a tight catalyst window, with the May 6 earnings and May 20 shareholder meeting both positioned to potentially validate that the transformation is starting to show real traction. If early signs of beverage momentum or improving economics come through, the market has a reason to start repricing the story quickly, especially with the FIFA World Cup 2026 on the horizon creating a natural tailwind for marketing, sports nutrition positioning, and broader brand visibility at exactly the right time.

Meanwhile, the core plant-based meat line stays the slower but steady base through traditional distributor flows, with retailers like Walmart controlling shelf flow — but that contrast sharpens the case, because beverages bring speed into a macro backdrop that’s quietly turning supportive. We don’t forget Ethan’s favourite product - Steak Filet - now clearly mentioned as best seller on BTK. Today’s Fed tone is helping anchor liquidity expectations, Iran tensions are leaning more toward normalization than escalation, and IPO buzz around SpaceX is feeding a broader risk-on summer setup. In that environment, capital rotation can lift beaten-down names quickly, especially with high market correlation still in play.

On the ops side, the El Segundo pilot plant adds another layer, enabling protein bar rollout while signaling real scaling intent — something even reflected in hiring like the production operator role, where they talk about making “delicious products,” pointing to execution, not just story. And the bar angle gets more interesting when you look at comps — products like David bars moving through DSD networks such as Big Geyser show how quickly a functional snack can scale with the right distribution, and with Ethan suggesting their new protein bars could actually be better, it hints at a chance to pair stronger unit economics with a proven route-to-market. Higher margins and longer shelf life only reinforce that edge, reducing spoilage risk and making broader retail expansion far easier

I made a lot the last squeeze cycle and got out when I needed to. Looks to be starting again.

Now this is the piece that actually connects your earlier thesis to a real mechanism.

What you’ve just described around Beyond Meat is not normal flow — it’s exactly the kind of positioning that can lead to the move you remember.

Let’s break it down properly, because there’s signal here — but also a common trap.

🧠 What this options data is really saying

📊 1. Call dominance (92% calls vs 7% puts)

That’s extreme.

This tells you:

Positioning is heavily skewed bullish short-term

But here’s the nuance:

This could be speculation (retail chasing)

OR smart money positioning early

You need price to confirm which.

⚙️** 2. Open Interest spike (120% of 30-day avg**)

This is more important than volume.

It means:

Positions are being BUILT, not just traded and closed

That supports your idea of:

“multi-day setup forming”

🎯 3. The key trade: $1.50 calls (May 1 expiry)

This is the most telling part.

Stock was at $1.15

Traders loading $1.50 strike

Short-dated expiry

That is:

Out-of-the-money, time-sensitive bullish bets

Translation:

They’re betting on a move soon

Not just a slow grind

🔥 4. Why this matters (gamma setup)

If price approaches $1.50:

Those calls go from OTM → ATM

Market makers start hedging

They buy stock to stay neutral

That creates:

Upward pressure → which can trigger more buying → feedback loop

This is how squeezes actually accelerate

⚠️** The part most people get wron**g

This data is fuel, not ignition.

Right now you have:

Fuel ✔️ (options positioning)

Attention ✔️ (volume)

Structure forming ✔️ (your V-shape)

But you still need:

Price to hit the trigger level

🎯 The critical level just got clearer

Before: 1.45–1.50 was technical resistance

Now: it’s ALSO a gamma trigger zone

So:

👉 $1.50 is the line that matters

If price pushes into 1.50 and holds:

Calls go in the money

Hedging kicks in

Shorts feel pressure

👉 This is where your “run to something crazy” scenario becomes real

If price fails before 1.50:

Calls decay

Positioning unwinds

Momentum dies

👉 Then this whole setup deflates quickly

🧩 Putting it all together

You now have:

High pre-market volume

V-shaped recovery

Heavy call skew

Rising open interest

Clear strike magnet (1.50)

That combination is:

A legitimate pre-squeeze setup

🚨 But here’s the honest pushback

This exact setup also:

Fails a lot

Because:

Everyone sees the same thing

Early buyers pile in

It needs follow-through, not just positioning

🧠 Clean way to trade this (no guessing)

DO NOT:

Buy just because of options flow ❌

DO:

Wait for price to interact with 1.45–1.50

Your trigger checklist

If it:

Breaks 1.50

Holds above it

Volume expands

👉 Then you’ve got:

Price + positioning aligned = high probability squeeze attempt

If not:

It’s just bullish positioning that never triggered

🧾 Bottom line

You were right earlier — this can be the kind of setup that leads to a huge move.

But now you can define it precisely:

It’s not a squeeze yet — it’s a loaded spring sitting just below $1.50

Loving the volume, and regretting the paper handing at .8 tbh, but I paper handed mrsg and onfo and bird and snal all in like two weeks

got into wnw early and pdt restricted into losing sadly

nonetheless bynd looking spicy today

just tapped 1.42

holy shit

I just looked at the 30 minute data

this is the same price that is squeezed at before 👀👀👀

wait.

head and shoulders.

do yall think it booms again? idk, this market sentiment overall is desperate

Bought at 2.2 on initial run and did not sell at 7. Ended up selling at .85 to exit after holding a bit. I got back in at 1.25 thinking it would run again. I averaged down to .95 but finally sold again when it sat at .60 for a while after that terrible earnings call. Well done me now its back at 1.33

Lesson learnt but good luck to all Im sitting out Im just cursed in this stock
