Market Overview
Friday’s open is setting up with a risk-on tape. Into 9:00 a.m. ET, Dow futures were up about 1.0%, S&P 500 futures about 0.9%, and Nasdaq 100 futures about 1.3%, with chips and megacaps leading as yields eased and oil slipped ahead of the jobs report. Fed-hold odds for October were near 76% after policymakers pushed back on a back-to-back hike.
This Sowell premarket scan (IEX, 9:17 a.m. ET) is mixed: only the green names qualify for continuation. Leadership is NVTS on a fresh AI data-center power platform, AIB on the Nebius capacity contract, and TLS on a new Commerce OIG award. SDEV is the volume runner but is extended after a no-news surge and warrant overhang. Thin prints (CELU, CMMB, REKR) stay on the list only as secondary holds above the premarket bid — size down and demand post-open confirmation.
1️⃣ $NVTS (Navitas Semiconductor Corporation) | 🔌 Technology / Semiconductors
Current Status:
- Price: $12.11 (+4.98%)
- Float: 242.87M
- Volume: 0.73M (early premarket; pace above a quiet open vs ~11.7M average daily)
- Key Times: Premarket bid held through 9:17 a.m. ET scan; prior close $11.54
Trading Levels:
- Intraday Range: $12.07–$12.15 (scan entry zone; 52-week $6.82–$34.13)
- Key Support: $11.54 (prior close / overnight), $12.07 (premarket shelf)
- Entry Zones: → $12.07 / $12.15
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 $13.44 | T2 $14.41 | T3 $15.25 | T4 $16.20 | T5 $17.00
- 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.
