📊 INTRADAY WATCHLIST PERFORMANCE REVIEW – AUGUST 28, 2026

Published on: August 28, 2026

Watchlist Overview

The August 28, 2026 watchlists were built around first-day Nasdaq listings and low-float news names, with premarket flow into 9:14 AM ET clustered in AI/compute infrastructure, biotech catalysts, and micro-float tape. The Premarket Watchlist carried 10 names ($AEMD, $EPOW, $NCPL, $XTNT, $MODD, $WETO, $AVAT, $RYET, $OBAI, $CHOW) focused on medical devices, anode-contract industrials, squeeze mechanics, and listing-standard / municipal-software headlines. The Intraday Watchlist also listed 10 tickers ($FNGR, $QNRX, $PSQL, $WHLR, $CYAB, $XLAB, $GAP, $BRNX, $TNON, $EPOW), led by FingerMotion’s BlueFlare/Lyken.AI 8-K volume, Quoin’s QRX003 data plus $50M placement, and day-one discovery ranges in $PSQL and $XLAB. The only overlap between the two lists was $EPOW. Scanner context flagged binary open risk: continuation names needed to hold premarket VWAP and print higher lows on sustained RVOL, while wide listing-day ranges and dilution headlines were treated as fade candidates.

Lessons: The real-time edge on August 28 belonged to high-RVOL news continuation ($FNGR, $CYAB) rather than the wide day-one listing ranges, which still printed green opens-to-highs but left far less of the premarket spike on the regular-session tape.

Final Thoughts

The August 28 intraday list delivered a clean 10-for-10 hit rate and +291.3% combined open-to-high performance, averaging +29.13% per name. The strategy worked best in catalyst-plus-volume micro/small caps: $FNGR’s AI data-center/8-K tape produced the session’s only triple-digit regular-hours extension, and $CYAB’s contract-driven squeeze was the other 🔥 runner. First-day Nasdaq names $PSQL and $XLAB both paid from the cash open into the day high, but they did not recreate their premarket discovery spikes, and offering-tied names like $QNRX and $TNON stayed modest after the open. $GAP was the lone large-float earnings name and behaved like a controlled large-cap beat rather than a scanner runner. Takeaway: the watchlist identified real continuation risk on Friday, but the money was in holding confirmed RVOL news names through the regular session—not chasing the first print on listing-day ranges or dilution headlines.
