Small-cap rally by Lina Bob

Market Analysis

Volatility spiked as a handful of names absorbed fresh headlines. CJET led the charge, adding more than 239% after announcing a 100:1 reverse split and rebranding plan, with volume surging tenfold compared to its 30-day average. AKAN nearly tripled on news of a telecom merger and an 18.8 million-share registration for debt conversion, driving its share count and liquidity substantially higher.

Biotech and clean-energy plays also saw outsized gains. RITR advanced nearly 100% amid a $150 million tokenized logistics MOU, while PALI climbed 88% after regulatory filings hinted at accelerated clinical milestones. FOFO shares jumped 75% post-IPO, extending yesterday’s rally into today’s session. Across the board, names with new filings or corporate actions commanded the most buying interest, pushing daily volume totals to multi-month highs.

Emerging patterns show that small-caps with clear catalysts—reverse splits, M&A announcements, trial updates—continue to outperform, even as broader indexes remain muted. The correlation between volume spikes and price moves underscores the speculative nature of today’s activity, with retail traders gravitating toward news-driven setups.

Significant Movers

CJET was the standout, vaulting past $0.15 on heavy flow. AKAN’s nearly 190% jump followed its international merger announcement. RITR’s MOU news catapulted shares through the $3.00 mark. PALI saw renewed interest after an S-1 filing ahead of pivotal trial readouts. FOFO, fresh off its IPO, briefly tested $35 before settling around $22.40.
