There was one trade that caught Nathan's attention. A trader bought 10,000 contracts of the January 2019, 10 strike puts for $0.16. The trade breaks even at $9.84 or 45.03 percent below the current market price. Nathan believes this isn't a protection. He sees it as an implied volatility trade, because implied volatility might increase significantly in the name and push the value of the put option higher.
