Market Overview

Strong after-hours momentum on Friday carried into the weekend with explosive gains in low-float small-caps across energy, biotech, and tech sectors. NXTT led with nearly 99% AH surge on massive volume ahead of its Q1 2026 earnings call tomorrow, while runners like ZDAI, TWAV, and HCWB showed 20-270% moves on high RVOL.

Premarket Monday expected to open volatile with continuation setups in sub-$25 names under $25M floats; watch for volume surges above Friday AH levels and catalyst-driven breakouts in healthcare and renewable energy plays.
