A large bearish bet came in the form of the purchase of 25,000 of the March 14/10 put spreads for an average price of $1.04 per contract, Khouw mentioned. The trade represents 2.5 million shares.

The trader expects shares of Rocket Companies to lose as much as 28% over the next couple of months.

“So, at least one institutional investor sees further weakness ahead,” Khouw said.
