Market Overview
Friday’s tape opens after a catalyst-driven Thursday session led by oncology, digital-asset treasury, and fintech names. Summit Therapeutics ripped on partner Akeso’s HARMONi-2 overall-survival win versus pembrolizumab, while ProCap Financial, Hyperliquid Strategies, Webull, Bitdeer, and Cango all finished green. The highest-quality continuation setups are the names that held gains into the close, printed higher lows, and still show a bid into Friday’s cash open rather than one-candle gap-and-fade prints.
Netskope is the earnings-washout exception after the September 2 report, and JFB is a special-situation name tied to the XTEND combination expected to begin trading as XTND. Trade only post-open continuation: require 2+ consecutive 1-minute/5-minute closes through the listed entry zones with volume confirmation, and discard any name that goes red versus the official open in the first 30–60 minutes.

- Key Times: High 15:48 ET, Support test 10:22 ET
Trading Levels:
- Intraday Range: $2.36–$2.63
- Key Support: $2.36 (overnight), $2.50 (consolidation)
- Entry Zones: → $2.616 / $2.634

- Targets: T1 $2.91 | T2 $3.12 | T3 $3.45 | T4 $3.71 | T5 $4.25
- Initial Stop Loss: Place a hard stop 3–5% below entry (maximum risk). Prefer structure whenever possible (low of the entry candle, most recent swing low, or key support). This distance is designed so that a hard dump triggers an exit while still protecting approximately 95–97% of the original capital.
- Trailing Stop (volatility-adjusted):
- High-volatility / high-RVOL runners (strong bullish sentiment, heavy volume, wide daily range, FGI-style continuation): Use a wider trail of 8–12% or approximately 2.5×–3.5× ATR. Give the stock room to breathe so you are not shaken out of a true runner.
- Medium-volatility / orderly grinders: 5–8% or 1.5×–2.5× ATR.
- Lower-volatility or slower names: 3–5% or 1×–1.5× ATR. Tighten the leash so profits are locked in before the move stalls.
Once price is extended, prefer trailing under the most recent higher low or under VWAP rather than a pure percentage. Never widen the trailing stop — only tighten it as the trade moves in your favor.
