Watchlist Overview
The August 24, 2026 premarket watchlist was a continuation-first list built off Friday, August 21 small-cap strength, not a fresh gap-and-go tape. Sowell focused on healthcare, industrials/waste, consumer packaged names, and tech/crypto-adjacent software that held green, printed higher highs on elevated relative volume, and kept bid support into the Friday close. Low-float grinders with repeated breakout and whale-scanner hits were favored over one-day fade structures, with catalysts clustered around filings, reverse-split mechanics, operations updates, and treasury/DeFi expansion. The published premarket list contained 10 tickers in a single ranked set, with the cleanest overlap in medical devices, waste-management runners, and software/infrastructure momentum.

Lessons: Friday continuation in tight-float healthcare and tech paid immediately, while the only red name was the exhausted high-volume squeeze ($KNRX) that could not hold Friday’s spike into Monday’s regular session.
Final Thoughts
The August 24 premarket book worked as a continuation screen: nine of ten names pushed green versus Friday’s close, the list compounded +247.4% in raw high-based P/L, and the average runner printed +24.74% with a 90% hit rate. What paid was orderly leftover bid in $PMI, $CYPH, $INCR, $PLAG, and $DXST — names that already had scanner heat, relative volume, and higher-low structure heading into the weekend — not the most crowded dollar-volume explosion from Friday. $USDE still tagged a higher high but was clearly a leftover after an 8.79 Friday spike, $CDTG and $BTCS were grinders rather than trend-day rockets, and $KNRX was the tell that a one-day whale squeeze does not automatically become Monday continuation. Premarket levels flagged the right neighborhood; the real money still came from Monday’s cash-session highs expanding through those levels. Takeaway: on this date the watchlist strategy was highly effective when it stayed with confirmed Friday strength and discarded the blown-out squeeze.
