Let us look at $ELAB, which is drifting 21.23% higher on zero news. Retail sees a green ticker and starts building a narrative. The database sees a trap.
In 20 historical gap-up days like today for $ELAB, the stock has closed red 75% of the time, with a painful median intraday return of -6.54%. The odds are overwhelmingly stacked against the long chasers.
Meanwhile, the promised grades from yesterday's calls are in: $VRAX collapsed -43% from open to close (win), $LUCY dropped -4% (win), while $EDBL squeezed +16% (miss). We track them all because the math does not lie.
