On the other side of the tape, CleanCore Solutions ($ZONE) entered the session with an $82M market cap and announced a $100M public offering pricing. The stock promptly imploded 55% as the market digested dilution larger than the business itself.
Historical data on catalyst gap-ups over 30% shows the setup closes red 65% of the time across 2,881 instances. The initial morning headline buys attention, but supply overhang dictates the close.
