Market Overview
Scan time is 9:22 AM ET, about eight minutes before the regular open. This list is limited to names still green in the premarket session on the Sowell full-25 tape. Ranking favors post-gap bid that is still holding, then volume that has not collapsed, then a catalyst that is still in the tape. The regular session has not opened, so “change since open” cannot be confirmed yet — these are continuation candidates into the open, not confirmed open holds.
Leadership is concentrated. SDEV is the cleanest trend-continuation print, up about 34% with 602K shares already through. QSI is the sharpest breakout on fresh proteomics data but the print is thin at 30.7K. GTM and CGNT are orderly green pullbacks on this week’s company news. PLUG is the liquidity anchor. Several other green-extension names are still red versus yesterday’s close and are ranked lower until they prove they can hold the open.
1️⃣ $SDEV (Stablecoin Development Corporation) | 💰 Financial Services / Asset Management
Current Status:
- Price: $3.61 (+33.70%)
- Float: 22.55M
- Volume: 0.60M (pre-open; 20-day avg 12.67M)
- Key Times: Premarket bid holding into 9:22 ET scan, extension +9.89%
Trading Levels:
- Intraday Range: $3.61–$4.12
- Key Support: $3.40 (premarket shelf), $2.70 (prior close area)
- Entry Zones: → $3.74 / $3.74
Entry Confirmation:
- Require 2+ consecutive 1m/5m closes above the entry zone with reversal or volume surge.
- Do NOT enter on first touch without confirmation.
- Targets: T1 $3.97 | T2 $4.12 | T3 $4.35 | T4 $4.60 | T5 $4.95
- 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.
