Market Overview
Overnight tone is constructive after Nvidia beat and guided higher, with S&P and Nasdaq futures bid into Thursday’s cash open. Small-cap tape from Wednesday carried into after-hours: government-funding, robotics, diagnostics, and EV-charging names printed elevated RVOL and held green versus the regular-session open rather than fading the gap. That FGI-style bid is the filter for this list.
Focus Thursday is whether Wednesday’s AH highs hold in the first 30–60 minutes with continued size. Names that only spiked on the print and lose VWAP/open early should be discarded. Prefer higher lows, sustained dollar volume, and confirmation before first touch entries. Liquidity will be thinner in the microcaps—size accordingly.
1️⃣ $MERC (Mercer International Inc.) | 🌲 Basic Materials / Paper & Paper Products
Current Status:
- Price: $0.76 (+78.24% AH / +84.01% vs prior)
- Float: 41.83M
- Volume: 55.50M (extreme RVOL vs typical ~1–2M)
- Key Times: High 16:00–20:00 ET AH, Support test near $0.40 regular-session low
Trading Levels:
- Intraday Range: $0.40–$0.85
- Key Support: $0.50 (AH bid), $0.41 (session low / overnight)
- Entry Zones: → $0.62 / $0.72
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 $0.85 | T2 $0.95 | T3 $1.10 | T4 $1.25 | T5 $1.50
- 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.
