At the 67th ASH Annual Meeting on Dec 06, the company reported a mean absolute fetal hemoglobin (HbF) increase from 7.1% to 16.9% (+9.9%), with 58% of patients reaching ≥20% HbF and significant improvements in markers of hemolysis and anemia.

Recent trading sessions showed only minor fluctuations, with changes of 1.23%, -2.04%, and 0.28% from Dec 03 to Dec 05, indicating today's move is primarily news-driven rather than a reaction to a prior price pattern.

Recent trading showed relatively muted moves, with changes of 2.56%, -1.08%, and -1.09% in the four sessions prior, signaling that today’s surge is directly tied to the acquisition news rather than a technical correction or price pattern.

OCUL:NASDAQ

Today's jump follows a series of modest gains in the prior four sessions, with recent moves of 1.87%, 8.55%, and 1.13%. The current momentum is likely driven by investor optimism around the accelerated regulatory timeline and the potential for AXPAXLI to be a first-in-class TKI for wet AMD.

Why is SMX stock down?

After a series of outsized gains—15.82% on Dec 03, 138.52% on Dec 04, and 137.96% on Dec 05—SMX is pulling back today as traders lock in profits. This correction follows a classic pattern of profit-taking after a rapid surge.

Multiple announcements on Dec 08 highlighted new collaborations in gold, plastics, and textiles using SMX’s identity verification technology. While these releases spotlight potential market opportunities, today's move is primarily a technical correction after recent momentum rather than a direct reaction to the news.

Recent trading saw modest gains, including an 8.39% rise on December 5, but today's drop appears driven primarily by the negative clinical trial update rather than a simple correction from previous sessions.

Why is JZXN stock down?

Jiuzi Holdings Inc. (JZXN) is under pressure after announcing a 1-for-40 reverse stock split set for December 10, 2025. The move aims to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid rule, consolidating shares from 50,231,389 to about 1,255,785.

With no significant price swings in the previous four sessions, today's decline is likely a direct reaction to the reverse split news, as such actions often signal challenges in maintaining listing requirements and can weigh on investor sentiment.

Why is TGL stock down?

Treasure Global (NASDAQ: TGL) shares are retreating after a recent rally. Following yesterday's 279.81% surge, today's pullback appears to be profit-taking as traders lock in gains from the sharp run-up.

The company updated its 2026 revenue outlook on Dec 08, targeting USD 3.0 million—a projected 1,500% growth—driven by fintech and digital asset initiatives including the OXI wallet and UNIRWA token. A 1-for-20 reverse stock split was also recently completed.

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.
