🔮 Anatomy of Historic Alerts: Quantum Squeeze on RGTI & IONQ
Quantum Squeeze on RGTI & IONQ
In the wild world of options trading, few moments rival the thrill of catching a sector-wide squeeze before it explodes. Back in July 2025, Pure Power Picks did just that with quantum computing leaders Rigetti Computing (RGTI) and IonQ (IONQ).
What began as sharp technical setups evolved into the biggest wins in PPP history — blasting into our exclusive 1000% Club with opportunities of 1825% on RGTI and not so far behind 668% on IONQ.
These weren’t flukes. They were the result of relentless chart scanning, sector deep dives, and alerts fired at the perfect moment — all shared with members in real-time.
The Setup: Quantum on Our Radar (Weekly Watchlist Spotlight)
Quantum computing was heating up in our scans — breakthroughs in error-corrected qubits and big-tech partnerships were whispering “setup.” We flagged both stocks in our weekly watchlist for their coiled potential. For IONQ, our July 6 spotlight nailed the impending squeeze:
IONQ: “Looking strong at the current levels with a potential squeeze around the corner. We will be looking at support $42–39.70 and will target a move into $45–48.9. If IONQ sees a breakout over $49 would expect to see a move into $50 and a test of all time highs at $54.74. Any move over that could squeeze without resistance and shorts will be forced to cover. On the opposite, a move under support could slow momentum and fall back into the mid-$30s as shorts would maintain a bit of control.”
Simple, yet surgical: technical patterns + emerging narrative = high-probability watch. We knew quantum was the next AI, and these names were primed.
The Alerts: Precision Strikes Fired in July
As setups confirmed, we dropped the alerts — clear, actionable, and loaded with thesis:
RGTI Alert (7/8/25)
- Ticker: RGTI
- Options: $15 Calls
- Expiration: 10/17/2025
- Bid Price: $2.22
Trade Thesis: We're alerting Rigetti Computing Inc. (Ticker: RGTI) for a long trade idea. Quantum name with support/entry upside into the $13-12.5. Target upside into $14.2-15-16. If this room looks hot, order heats up, and a break over $16.25 upside, RGTI may see a deeper squeeze into test $20. Under $12.5 and the idea becomes less attractive.
IONQ Alert (7/23/25)
- Ticker: IONQ
- Options: $50 Calls
- Expiration: 10/17/2025
- Bid Price: $4.40
Trade Thesis: We're alerting IONQ Inc. (Ticker: IONQ) for a long trade idea. Anticipating support $42-39.70 for buy entry and a move into $45-48. If IONQ sees a $49 breakout, any move over $49 would expect to squeeze without resistance and a test of all time highs at $54.74. Any move over that could squeeze without resistance and shorts will be forced to cover. On the opposite, a move under support could slow momentum and fall back into the mid-$30s as shorts would maintain a bit of control.
The Catalyst: Quantum Boom Ignites the Squeeze
Late July 2025: Rigetti unveils scalable NQTM qubits with 99.9% fidelity
Sept 10, 2025: IonQ creates IonQ Federal, led by ex-NGA Director Robert Cardillo—consolidating $100M+ in Air Force, DARPA, and Oak Ridge contracts.
The fireworks started in late July with Rigetti's qubit breakthrough, but September amplified the surge: IonQ's new federal division positions quantum for national security wins, fueling billions in big-tech investments from Google and IBM. Stocks decoupled from broader tech, squeezing shorts in a frenzy.
RGTI 5x’d in weeks; IONQ followed with a 3x tear—and federal tailwinds signal more upside ahead. We were in before the headlines hit escape velocity.
The Results: Entering the 1000% Club
IONQ $50 Calls: Alerted at $4.40 → High of $33.80 = +668% in 58 trading days
This blast into the 1000% Club (reserved for PPP’s all-time elite) weren’t just wins — they were sector-defining. Members who scaled in saw life-changing returns, all from alerts that cost a fraction of these contracts.
July 2025 Alert Performance: The Full Picture
To give you the complete context on how RGTI and IONQ fit into our broader success, here's the full July 2025 Alert Tracker. This month was a powerhouse for Pure Power Picks, with 14 alerts delivering an average max opportunity of ~400% across the board. We crushed it in high-conviction sectors like quantum computing and big tech, but not every trade was a moonshot — that's the reality of options trading, and we own the wins and the lessons.
The Good:
July was a banner month, with 10 out of 14 alerts hitting 100%+ opportunities — that's our edge in action. The quantum duo (RGTI at +1,826% and IONQ at +668%) stole the show, turning sector hype into life-changing trades. We also nailed big swings in BABA (+1,037%), AAPL (+502%), TEM (+284%), and RKT (+250%), proving our scanner catches fireworks early. Overall hit rate? ~71% winners (above 50% threshold), with quantum/tech leading the charge. These aren't outliers — they're repeatable from deep setups and catalysts.
The Bad (or "Lessons Learned"):
Not every alert popped like champagne. UBER (+20%) fizzled on broader EV fatigue, reminding us to layer in macro filters next time. Puts like QS (+57%) and ARKK (+61%) delivered solid hedges but capped upside in a bull run — great for risk management, but we'd tweak sizing for directional bias. TGT (+32%) and PYPL (+40%) were quick scalps that worked but lacked the squeeze magic. Key takeaway: In hot months like this, we double down on irrational potential squeezers (hello, quantum) while using the "misses" to refine entries. No service is 100% — but our transparency is.
This tracker isn't just bragging rights; it's proof of our process. Quantum was the star, but the full portfolio shows consistent alpha. Ready to track your next banger?
