Friday's session delivered a classic micro-cap rollercoaster, with extreme volatility concentrated in low-priced, low-float names. The average top gainer surged 42.89%, while the average loser plunged 45.97%, reflecting a market of high-stakes speculation rather than broad thematic moves.

Key Points

  • Abits Group Inc. (ABTS) led all advancers, rocketing 86.49% to $3.73 on no immediately clear catalyst.
  • Fujian Blue Hat Interactive (BHAT) was the day's biggest casualty, collapsing 74.26% to $0.11.
  • Of the 20 biggest movers, 18 traded on the NASDAQ and 14 were priced under $5, highlighting the day's speculative, small-cap character.
  • The moves occurred against a mixed macro backdrop, with major indices attempting to stabilize after a volatile week.

Gainers: Low-Float Frenzy

Abits Group Inc. (ABTS) exploded 86.49%, adding $1.73 to close at $3.73. The cryptocurrency mining and AI infrastructure firm saw massive volume, but a definitive news catalyst was not immediately apparent. Such moves are typical for micro-caps with limited public float, where even modest buying pressure can trigger parabolic rallies.

Real Messenger Corporation (RMSG) followed, jumping 50.20% to $0.89. The communications software company also had no confirmed news driving the surge.

Losers: Brutal Reversals

The sell-side was even more severe. Fujian Blue Hat Interactive Entertainment Technology Ltd. (BHAT) was decimated, falling 74.26% to $0.11. The Chinese mobile gaming and toy company's plunge also lacked an immediate public catalyst, suggesting possible internal developments or a rapid unwind of a prior rally.

Eureka Acquisition Corp (EURKR), a special purpose acquisition company, cratered 56.55% to $0.20. SPACs are notoriously volatile as they approach deal deadlines or face liquidation.
