Market Overview
Overnight IEX prints on the Sowell closed tape are concentrated in catalyst names rather than a broad tape bid. $NAUT is the only true high-momentum continuation print at +18.80% on a proteomics/analyst breakout, while $FLD, $SAIL, and $AEO hold modest green versus the prior close on bitcoin-fintech and fresh earnings. Several scanner names ($MIMI, $SGMT, $CGNT, $BULL) finished red and fail the strict post-open continuation filter until they reclaim VWAP and the official open with rising RVOL.
Focus the open on green-versus-open grinders with usable size: $NAUT first, then $SAIL and $AEO if they hold the official open. Fade or skip ultra-thin IEX leftovers ($FLD 741 shares, $LUCY 2.3K) unless regular-session volume expands immediately. Require 2+ consecutive 1m/5m closes above the listed entry zone; do not chase the first touch.
1️⃣ $NAUT (Nautilus Biotechnology) | 🧬 Healthcare / Biotechnology
Current Status:
- Price: $1.12 (+18.80%)
- Float: 75.0M
- Volume: 54.0K IEX overnight (thin print; need regular-session expansion)
- Key Times: High 15:59 ET, Support test 10:12 ET
Trading Levels:
- Intraday Range: $0.94–$1.12
- Key Support: $1.00 (overnight), $0.94 (prior consolidation)
- Entry Zones: → $1.116 / $1.124
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 $1.24 | T2 $1.28 | T3 $1.33 | T4 $1.45 | T5 $1.60
- 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.
Technical Confirmation:
- Scanner Hits: Analyst, Breakout, +18.80% closed IEX leader
- Volume: 54.0K IEX shares, thin overnight dollar volume (need RVOL expansion at the open)
