Why is PFSA stock up?

Profusa (PFSA) surged after announcing a major restructuring of its Senior Secured Convertible Notes on Dec 30. The new terms raise the conversion floor price to $0.35, significantly reducing potential dilution for current shareholders. Additional changes include the removal of mandatory early repayments and increased ELOC payment rates, signaling improved financial flexibility.

This news follows several mixed sessions, with PFSA declining -9.80% on Dec 26 and -4.87% on Dec 29. The positive momentum today is likely driven by the favorable restructuring details, which address dilution concerns and extend repayment timelines.

Momentum continued today following news of a $2M registered direct offering at $2.25 per share, aimed at enhancing liquidity for general corporate purposes and potential deals.

After four sessions of declines, including drops of -6.17% and -7.46%, the rebound reflects renewed investor confidence on positive results and fresh capital plans.

ONTF:NYSE
Change +37.00 %

Why is ONTF stock up?

ON24 shares are rallying after the company announced it will be acquired by Cvent in an all-cash deal valued at $400 million, with shareholders set to receive $8.10 per share—a 62% premium to the November 10, 2025 close. The transaction is expected to close in H1 2026 and will result in ON24's delisting.

The move comes after several sessions of modest gains, suggesting today's surge is directly driven by the acquisition news rather than a technical rebound or correction.

Why is DRMA stock up?

Dermata Therapeutics shares are active after the company announced a private placement on Dec 29, raising $4.1 million upfront and up to $8.3 million more if warrants are exercised. The financing, priced at $2.04 per share, supports corporate and product launch activities, with insider participation and amended warrant terms.

  • In the previous four sessions, shares rose 16.18% on Dec 24 before dropping -21.52% on Dec 26, suggesting recent volatility and a possible bounce-back as investors react to the capital raise and future funding prospects.
DAIC:NASDAQ
Change +27.00 %
Market Cap 14.03M

Why is DAIC stock up?

Dot Ai (Nasdaq: DAIC) shares are rebounding after a steep three-day slide, which included declines of -11.76%, -15.61%, and -36.77% in the previous sessions, indicating a bounce-back scenario.

Today's surge follows the announcement of a three-year strategic partnership with Wiliot to advance industrial-grade Ambient IoT, with Dot Ai leveraging patent-pending technology for enhanced tag readability and industrial data collection.

Why is SCWO stock up?

The move follows news that 374Water secured state funding for PFAS destruction in Minnesota and added Charles Weiser, CPA, to its Board of Directors, both boosting sentiment as the company advances its AirSCWO technology and Waste Destruction Services business.

FONR:NASDAQ

Why is FONR stock up?

Under the merger, common shareholders will receive $19.00 per share—a 31.5% premium to the last close before the news on Dec 29. The deal is expected to close in Q3 2026 and is not subject to financing conditions.

Recent sessions showed minimal movement, with the largest gain just 1.45% on Dec 29, indicating that today's spike is primarily a reaction to the acquisition news rather than a correction or bounce-back from previous trading patterns.

Leadership changes include Hoffmann becoming Chair and COO Nathan Bekke stepping in as interim CEO.

Recent trading sessions showed minimal movement, signaling today's jump is driven by the strategic investment and debt restructuring news rather than a price pattern or technical rebound.

Top Losers

SMX:NASDAQ
Change -40.00 %
Market Cap 53.05M
Float 985.69K
Volume 811.58K

Why is SMX stock down?

SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) continues its decline, extending a multi-session downtrend after previous closes of -7.36% on Dec 24, -15.46% on Dec 26, and -27.03% on Dec 29. This pattern suggests sustained selling pressure rather than a reaction to a single event.

Recent news details an expanded $116.5 million equity facility and a $5 million convertible note, structured to avoid punitive dilution, alongside new commercial partnerships and an upcoming expansion into denim and recycled-denim markets. Despite the strategic financing and operational updates, the continued selloff indicates the market is focusing on dilution risk and capital structure over execution milestones for now.

Why is ECDA stock down?

ECD Automotive Design (ECDA) shares are under pressure following a sharp -40.44% drop on Dec 29, extending a continued decline after surging 46.50% on Dec 26. This pattern suggests ongoing profit-taking and correction after recent outsized gains.

The latest news on Dec 29 announced the launch of ECD’s Luxury Agent Program, aimed at expanding its sales network and driving production growth. However, today’s move appears more influenced by recent extreme volatility and natural correction than the news itself.

Why is DTCK stock down?

DTCK is under pressure today, following a 16.17% surge on Dec 29 and a substantial 66.08% jump on Dec 26. This pullback appears to be profit-taking after recent sharp gains rather than a direct reaction to new developments.

On Dec 29, the company announced it is evaluating a strategic expansion into China and North Asia's multi-billion-dollar sweeteners market. The news is exploratory and no commitments have been finalized, which may also temper further upside momentum.

Why is ANL stock down?

Adlai Nortye (ANL) shares are seeing a notable decline today, following a 9.76% gain in the previous session and a 7.19% rise earlier this week. This pullback appears to be profit-taking after the recent rally.

On Dec 29, the company announced an exclusive license agreement with ASK Pharm for AN9025 in Greater China, valued at up to RMB 1.6 billion (~USD 230 million), with upfront and near-term milestone payments exceeding USD 20 million.

Why is DVLT stock down?

Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) is down again today, extending a multi-session losing streak after declines of -3.39%, -5.96%, and -13.74% in the previous three sessions. This continued weakness points to persistent selling pressure rather than a one-off reaction.

Recent news includes a board-approved dividend of Dream Bowl Meme Coin II tokens and a proposed special dividend of warrants, both with a Jan. 7, 2026 record date. The tokens are described as digital collectibles with no monetary value, and warrant exercise is conditional on holding these tokens. This complex structure may be contributing to uncertainty among investors.

The company also highlighted new patents, global OEM demand, and CES 2026 exhibition plans, but these updates have not reversed the current downtrend.

Why is BSLK stock down?

Bolt Projects Holdings (Nasdaq: BSLK) extended its decline today, following a pattern of losses that includes a -21.48% drop on Dec 29 and continued weakness in earlier sessions. This sustained downward momentum suggests ongoing selling pressure.

On Dec 29, the company reported preliminary fiscal 2025 results showing strong year-over-year growth and raised 2026 guidance. However, mention of unresolved Nasdaq compliance, an ongoing audit, and a proposed $30.0M convertible note financing may have weighed on sentiment despite improving fundamentals.

Why is CODX stock down?

Co-Diagnostics (CODX) is trading lower after announcing a 1-for-30 reverse stock split effective January 2, 2026, aimed at regaining compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid requirement. Reverse splits often trigger investor caution and can pressure shares as the market digests the news.

Earlier, the company reported receiving an Australian patent for its Co-Dx PCR platform, but this development did not offset the negative sentiment from the split announcement. Shares were already trending lower in the four prior sessions, with consecutive declines of -1.79%, -2.41%, and -2.47%.

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.
