Yesterday brought strong action in small caps like NA and INM, offering clean setups and sharp moves — exactly what active traders love to see. But today? A different story. The premarket tape has been noticeably weaker, and the opportunities, while present, aren’t delivering the same momentum… at least not yet.

Premarket Today: Softer Sentiment, Smaller Moves
This morning’s watchlist included ULY and NAAS, but both have underwhelmed so far. You managed a small win on NAAS — a gain is a gain, but understandably frustrating after yesterday’s cleaner moves. Missing ULY adds to that sense of “what could’ve been.”

But this is where trading discipline matters most:

Don’t force trades in a weak market just to “make something happen.”
The best setups come to you when the conditions are right. Choppy premarket action is often a red flag for overtrading. Today is shaping up to be a sit-and-wait type of day — and that’s perfectly fine.

Spikers to Watch: High Potential, Low Certainty
A handful of tickers are still on radar for later in the session:

QS, PSTV, BLNE, PRTG, DTIL, RGC
These names have the right ingredients: low float, news catalysts, recent volume surges — but none are moving with conviction premarket. Any of them could spike, but only if real momentum steps in.
Your approach is right: Watch patiently, avoid the FOMO, and let the tape confirm the trade.
SRFM: A Legit Catalyst, But It Needs More
You caught a solid afternoon win on SRFM yesterday, which rallied after PLTR invested — a huge stamp of legitimacy in the small cap space. Heading into Day 2, the chart has potential, but it must break above $4 convincingly to offer a clean entry for continuation.

Otherwise? Sit and observe. No breakout = no trade.

Trader’s Takeaway:
Not every day brings A+ setups — yesterday was fast and clean, today is slower and choppy.
Taking small wins and avoiding forced trades is a win in itself.
Stay reactive, not predictive — let volume and price action do the talking.
Big moves often happen after the open, not before.
Final Word:
Disappointment is part of the game — but so is discipline. Being prepared and patient beats chasing every candle. Today might not be the day to push, but the right plays will reveal themselves — they always do.
