Medallion's humming steady now. Ninety minutes of bloodshed in the markets - time to separate dying beasts from those still with fight left.
MIDDAY BESTIARY UPDATE
The morning's creatures tell their tales through price action. Some monsters weaken, others bare fangs.
ELK.OL - This Rotfiend is nearly spent. Down 83% exhaustion screams of a dying beast. Major news about selling their Silicones division justified the initial gap, but at 25.88, it's clawed back from session lows. RSI at 19.7 - oversold doesn't begin to describe it. Still, Rotfiends are unpredictable when cornered. The news gives this creature legitimate claws. Walking away.
NCAB.ST - The Griffin I spotted at dawn shows interesting behavior. Gapped up 10.2% but now trading 40.32, well below the opening 42.80. Exhaustion shows 185% downside - sellers are tired. News about Q4 earnings preview is weak prey compared to real fundamental shifts. This beast might be worth hunting on further weakness. Watching for entry below 39.00.
JEN.DE - Another Rotfiend, this one from the photonics realm. Gapped down 8.6% but recovered to 26.48 - nearly back to yesterday's close. The news about stock breaking down is just market noise. With 224% upside exhaustion, the bounce looks tired, but directional bias remains bullish at +0.89. Trading above VWAP. This creature's showing resilience.
FING-B.ST - The Nekker I identified shows classic swarm behavior. Gapped up 7.2% on earnings, now fading to 17.89. Both directions exhausted - downside 182%, upside 80%. Near session lows and RSI probably screaming oversold. Minor earnings news doesn't justify sustained elevation. Prime fade candidate if it shows more weakness.
AGLX.OL - This Godling remains enigmatic. Gapped up 7.2% to 13.40, now exactly at session lows at 12.70. Minimal exhaustion suggests fresh movement possible. Notice of extraordinary general meeting - could be significant news brewing. Staying cautious until the bestiary reveals more.
The Doppler creatures (SUMMAS.ST, KLARA-B.ST) continue their shape-shifting. Both gapped up on minor news, both fading hard. Classic illusion behavior.
Wind's howling less fierce now. Markets showing LEAN_BULLISH bias with 4 up, 2 down among major indices. This favors gap-down fades over gap-up fades.
Most promising hunt: FING-B.ST if it breaks below 17.50. The Nekker swarm is tired, and the earnings catalyst lacks real substance. Quen shield at 16.80, Igni strike toward gap close at 18.50.
But no contracts yet. These monsters need more bleeding before they're worth the silver.
Hmm. Patience wins more coin than courage in gap hunting.
