Why is OFRM stock up?

Once Upon a Farm (OFRM) is active today after its IPO was priced at $18.00 per share, with trading beginning on February 6, 2026. The offering included both company and shareholder sales, with proceeds allocated to debt repayment and general purposes.

If today's move follows a strong surge of over 20% in the previous session, the current pullback appears to be profit-taking as early investors lock in gains after the IPO debut. Both news of the IPO and price action are shaping today's momentum.

  • Recent trading showed a -14.49% decline on Feb 05, following consecutive declines of -6.12% and -6.96%. Today's move appears to be a sharp bounce-back after several sessions of heavy selling.

Why is CREV stock down?

Carbon Revolution (CREV) shares are under heavy pressure following the company's announcement on Feb 6 that it received a Nasdaq delisting determination. The exchange cited failures to file required financials, meet minimum market value standards, and provide documentation for a strategic transaction.

This steep drop continues a sharp downward trend, with the previous four sessions closing at -16.88%, -14.06%, and -63.45%, indicating sustained selling momentum driven by mounting compliance and listing concerns.

After surging 20% on Feb 5 following Hims & Hers' announcement of compounded semaglutide pills starting at $49/month, today's decline appears to be a natural correction as traders lock in profits from yesterday's rally.

The prior session's gains were driven by excitement over the company's expanded weight loss offerings and aggressive pricing. Today's pullback is typical after such a sharp move, reflecting profit-taking rather than skepticism around the news.

The company plans to refocus on opportunities involving stranded or flared gas.

  • The latest move follows a recent negative trend, with the previous four sessions showing declines of -16.48%, -2.04%, and -6.94%, signaling sustained selling momentum. The news appears to have accelerated the ongoing weakness in the stock.

Why is VTAK stock down?

Following yesterday's 20%+ surge, today's sharp pullback in VTAK appears to be profit-taking as traders lock in gains after the rally.

The move comes after Catheter Precision announced on Feb 5 that its LockeT suture retention device will be featured in live cases at a major 2026 conference, highlighting product visibility but not offering immediate commercial catalysts.

Why is DDC stock down?

DDC shares are pulling back today after a 17.84% surge in the prior session, signaling profit-taking as traders lock in gains from the sharp rally.

Yesterday’s momentum followed the company's announcement on Feb 05 that it added 105 BTC to its holdings, bringing its total to 1,888 BTC at an average cost of $86,868. The recent accumulation program and strong BTC yield have kept DDC in focus, but today's downturn reflects a natural correction after recent strength.

Why is KELYB stock down?

Kelly shares are seeing a sharp pullback today, following a dramatic 251.16% surge on Feb 05. This type of movement often signals profit-taking or a natural correction after such extraordinary gains, rather than a reaction to new developments.

Recent company news, including the announcement of its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 earnings call set for Feb 12, 2026, does not appear to be the immediate catalyst for today's decline. The current move is better explained by short-term trading dynamics following recent volatility.

What is Momentum Trading?

Momentum trading is a strategy where traders observe stocks that are experiencing significant price movement in one direction. The concept involves monitoring trends in the market, though outcomes are never guaranteed and all trading carries risk. This educational overview is for informational purposes only.

How Momentum Trading Generally Works

Momentum traders typically observe stocks moving significantly on high volume. The strategy involves monitoring price movements and market trends. Common components that traders may consider include:

  • Trend Observation: Monitoring stocks moving in one direction.
  • Price Action Monitoring: Observing actual price movements.
  • Market Timing Attempts: Traders make their own decisions on position timing.

Commonly Cited Characteristics of Momentum Trading

  • Volatility: High volatility with potential for both gains and losses.
  • Short Term Focus: Often involves shorter holding periods.
  • Technical Analysis: Frequently uses technical indicators and trading scanners.

Risks of Momentum Trading

  • Substantial Loss Risk: Rapid reversals can lead to significant losses.
  • High Complexity: Requires extensive market knowledge and experience.
  • No Guaranteed Outcomes: Past momentum does not predict future performance.

What is a Stock Scanner for Momentum Trading?

A stock scanner is a data aggregation tool that displays information about momentum stocks experiencing price movements in the market. These tools compile market data and present it according to specified parameters, providing information only without recommendations or advice.

Functions of a Trading Scanner

  • Data Aggregation: Collects price and volume information from markets.
  • Parameter Filtering: Displays data based on user selected criteria.
  • Information Display: Presents market data in organized formats.
  • Multi Session Data: Shows information from premarket, regular, and after hours trading.
  • Alert Systems: Notifies when certain parameters are met (informational only).

What Stock Scanners Do and Don't Do

Stock scanners display market data about top momentum stocks today and price movements. They DO NOT:

  • Predict future price movements
  • Recommend specific trades
  • Guarantee profitable outcomes
  • Provide investment advice

Introducing Argus: Advanced Market Data Scanner

Argus is a sophisticated market data tool that displays real-time information about stocks experiencing significant price movements. The scanner identifies momentum stocks and correlates price changes with publicly available news, helping users stay informed about market activity across all trading sessions.

The Argus Approach: Radically Simple, Remarkably Effective

While traditional scanners overwhelm you with dozens of technical indicators, Argus takes a radically simple approach. We focus exclusively on what actually matters: significant price movements.

Here's our philosophy: We track stocks that move beyond 4% from their opening price. Once a stock crosses this threshold, we continue alerting you as it reaches new session highs (for rising stocks) or new session lows (for declining stocks). This means rising stocks trigger alerts at each new high point of the day, while falling stocks trigger alerts at each new low point.

This approach cuts through the noise. While other scanners might show you volume spikes or RSI readings that lead nowhere, Argus shows you what's actually moving and why. Every alert represents real momentum in a clear direction.

Key Features of Argus Stock Scanner

  • Real Time Market Monitoring: Continuously scans for stocks making significant moves (above 4%).
  • Directional Tracking: Alerts on new session highs for rising stocks, new session lows for declining stocks.
  • News Integration: Correlates price movements with relevant news articles.
  • Complete Session Coverage: Monitors top premarket gainers, regular hours, and after hour market movers.
  • Custom Parameters: Users can set their own display preferences.
  • Performance Tracking: Monitor daily top gainers and losers across markets.
  • Clean Interface: Intuitive design for seamless navigation.

What Argus Provides

  • Market Information: Raw data about price movements and top momentum stocks today.
  • Time Efficiency: Automated scanning saves time versus manual monitoring.
  • News Context: Links to publicly available news for informational context.
  • Data Organization: Structured display of market information.
