CoreWeave fell 11.9%, more than twice what Thursday's straddle priced, and finished the week down about 25%. Here's how this morning's six names finished at the regular close (3 PM CT) and in after hours (final, 7:00 PM CT). Closes are Nasdaq's official 3 PM CT prices (VEEA's from StockAnalysis and Yahoo; Nasdaq's page hadn't updated). Highs, lows and their times are Yahoo 1-minute bars. After-hours prices are Nasdaq's extended-trading page, pulled 7:21 PM CT. Borrow is Curved's IBKR feed (7:17 PM CT). Option chains are Nasdaq, Oct 16 expiry, Friday's session. Filings are EDGAR, checked 7:22 PM CT. **Scorecard** Prices are from the first r/Squeeze_em post that named each ticker. The high only counts after that post. Closes are the regular session (3 PM CT). Charts are Yahoo bars with our first listing marked.  **$TCRT**: First listed Tue Oct 13 at 8:19 AM CT, printed $1.86. High since then is still $4.37 (Wed Oct 14, 8:45 AM CT), +134.9%. Today's high $2.99 at 8:42 AM CT, +60.8%. Close $2.63, +41.4%. After hours $2.51 (6:59 PM CT).  **$CRWV**: First listed Thu Oct 15 at about 7:58 AM CT, printed $63.30. High since then is still Thursday's $69.76 (2:59 PM CT), +10.2%, or $70.67 after hours at 3:33 PM CT. Today's high $66.69 on the opening print, +5.4%. Close $61.39, −3.0%. After hours $60.97 (6:59 PM CT).  **$NCPL**: First listed Mon Oct 12 at 8:22 AM CT, printed $1.44. New high since then: $2.74 at 7:29 AM CT today, in premarket, +90.3% (the old high was $2.66 on Oct 12). Regular-session high $2.48 at 8:30 AM CT, +72.2%. Close $2.17, +50.7%. After hours $2.01 (6:59 PM CT).  **$TSLA**: First listed this morning at about 8:13 AM CT, printed $374.45. Never traded above it after the post; regular-session high $370.58 at the 8:30 AM CT open, −1.0%. Close $354.72, −5.3%. Miss. After hours $352.46 (6:59 PM CT). **$VEEA**: First named in our Hard Look on Mon Oct 5 at about $5.72. High since then is still $7.09 (Fri Oct 9, 10:45 AM CT), +24.0%. Today's high $4.87 at the 8:30 AM CT open, −14.9% vs that price. Close $4.21, −26.4% vs Oct 5, and −3.9% vs our first watchlist print of $4.38 on Oct 8. After hours $4.29 on a 5-share trade (6:59 PM CT). **$TFC**: First listed this morning, printed $46.30. High after the post $47.955 at 8:38 AM CT, +3.6%. Close $47.09, +1.7%. After hours the last print was $47.63 on 5 shares (6:49 PM CT); the larger trades sat between $46.63 and $47.22. Against this morning's prints, only TFC closed higher; the other five closed lower. From first listings, NCPL and TCRT are still well up; CRWV, TSLA and VEEA are under. No new name cleared 20% after its first listing. NCPL's premarket high is new, but it already had its 20% post on Oct 13. **Shares** **$VEEA** * Regular close $4.21, −13.0% vs Thursday's $4.84. After hours only 5,975 shares traded; the last print was $4.29 on 5 shares at 6:59 PM CT. * Volume about 374.5K vs Thursday's \~471K. That's about 0.24 times the 1.58M float, under it for a third straight day. * Borrow 886.1% with 60.0K available (Curved, changed 1:47 PM CT, feed 7:17 PM CT). Thursday night: 920.1% / 15.0K. Availability quadrupled while the fee barely moved. * SSR: it traded at or below the $4.36 trigger by 8:51 AM CT, so by our math the short-sale restriction ran the rest of Friday and carries into Monday. Curved shows the flag off. Check your platform. * No new EDGAR filing (last 8-K Oct 9) and no headlines today. NovaGen is still a non-binding term sheet. * What the price did: opened at the day's high of $4.87, slid to $4.022 at 12:09 PM CT, and closed 19 cents off the low. Fade check: not fading. The fee is still far above 50%, and 60K is a long way from the 500K line. It is the first time the locate has loosened since Wednesday, though, and it came on a 13% down day. **$NCPL (Netcapital)** * Regular close $2.17, +9.6% vs Thursday's $1.98, but 13.9% under this morning's $2.52 premarket print. After hours $2.01 (6:59 PM CT), down another 7.4%, with a low of $1.96 at 6:58 PM CT. * Volume about 23.8M vs Thursday's \~44.6M. That's about 5.4 times the 4.39M float: still several turns, at half Thursday's pace. * Borrow 476.5% with 20.0K available (Curved, feed 7:17 PM CT; last change dated Oct 14). Unchanged; threshold list for a 15th day. * New filing: Jane Street filed a Schedule 13G at 3:19 PM CT showing 420,473 shares, 5.4% of the class, as of Oct 9. That's the passive form: the holder certifies it isn't trying to influence control. A position report, not an endorsement. * Still no company filing on the late 10-K and 10-Q; the plan is due to Nasdaq by Oct 23. Law-firm class-action notices kept coming. * What the price did: touched $2.48 in the first minute, was down to $2.02 by 9:00 AM CT, and never got back above $2.32 (11:01 AM CT). Volume is doing the work; it hasn't moved the listing problem. **$TCRT (Alaunos)** * Regular close $2.63, +20.6% vs Thursday's $2.18, but 6.4% under this morning's $2.81 premarket print. After hours $2.51 (6:59 PM CT), after a high of $2.76 at 3:35 PM CT. * Volume about 31.9M, roughly 16.9 times the 1.89M float, against Thursday's \~5.9M regular plus \~12.3M after hours. The after-hours burst carried over. * Borrow 677.7% with 1.0K available (Curved, changed 4:17 PM CT, feed 7:17 PM CT; the page's summary line says 4.0K). Thursday: 81.2% / 90.0K. Sep 30 short interest was only 9,736 shares. A fee jump like this tells you lenders ran out of stock. It doesn't tell you how big the short is. * No new EDGAR filing today after Thursday's Fairmount 13D and Form 3 and the WaterMill 13D/A. Still no resale registration for the private-placement shares. * What the price did: $2.99 at 8:42 AM CT, $2.31 at 10:19 AM CT, back to $2.85 by 12:18 PM CT, close $2.63. **Options** **$CRWV (CoreWeave)** * Regular close $61.39, −11.9% vs Thursday's $69.69. The $70 straddle priced about 5.2% ($3.66). The move was more than twice that, and the straddle was worth about $8.61 at the close. After hours $60.97 (6:59 PM CT). * Range $59.90 (2:06 PM CT) to $66.69 on the opening print. Thursday's $59.51 low held. Down about 25% on the week (Oct 9 close $82.08). Volume about 94.4M vs Thursday's \~128.2M. * Oct 16 expiry: the $70 calls that traded 69,913 Thursday expired worthless. The $60 puts expired worthless too. The low dipped a dime under the strike at 2:06 PM CT, and the close finished $1.39 above it (69,758 traded today against 32,295 open). Calls 258.6K / puts 232.7K today (Nasdaq). * No new 8-K or offering on EDGAR. Reuters (3:40 PM CT) put the CEO's stock sales since the IPO at nearly $1B, from filings. Borrow 0.3% with 8.1M available (Curved, feed 7:17 PM CT). It broke the $62.72 SSR trigger at 10:54 AM CT, so by our math the restriction carries into Monday; Curved agrees. **$TSLA (Tesla)** * Regular close $354.72, −2.1% vs Thursday's $362.44, and 5.3% under this morning's $374.45 premarket print. After hours $352.46 (6:59 PM CT). * The $362.50 straddle priced about 2.9% ($10.58). The close-to-close move was smaller, 2.1%, so the straddle finished worth about $7.78. The day was wider: $370.58 at the open to $349.33 at 2:06 PM CT, about 5.9% top to bottom, on 61.7M shares, more than double Thursday's. * Oct 16 chain today: calls 1.45M / puts 887K (Thu 487.9K / 317.1K). The $375 calls, 34,013 traded Thursday, never got in the money (117,121 traded today, last $0.01). The $360 put finished about $5.28 in the money (118,411 traded, last $5.05). * No new Tesla filing on EDGAR. A flying demo is not a delivery date, and the stock traded like it knew that. Earnings are Oct 21 (StockAnalysis). **$TFC (Truist)** * Reported before the open: adjusted EPS $1.16 vs Nasdaq's $1.17 forecast; GAAP $0.56 after a $1.4B securities loss (8-K, 5:31 AM CT). Headlines stayed split on beat or miss (The Globe and Mail 11:09 AM CT: miss; AlphaStreet 10:23 AM CT: beat). * Regular close $47.09 (Nasdaq; Yahoo $47.07), +1.1% vs Thursday's $46.57. The $47.50 straddle priced about 4.5% ($2.10). The move was about a quarter of that, and the straddle finished worth about $0.41. * Range $46.89 (8:30 AM CT) to $47.955 (8:38 AM CT). Volume about 14.1M vs Thursday's \~12.6M. * Call / put volume today: 1,453 / 1,753 (Thu 2,166 / 357). The $47.50 put traded 1,653 against 1,750 open and finished $0.41 in the money. **Short interest:** The Sep 30 count is still the newest one we have (VEEA 50,744; NCPL 730,117; TCRT 9,736). The Oct 15 settlement isn't out yet. **What we learned today:** Thursday's chains underpriced CoreWeave and overpriced Truist and Tesla on a close-to-close basis. Alaunos showed how fast a borrow can go from easy to hard when a 1.89M float trades 17 times in a day. Alaunos's fee went from 81% to 678% in one session on a stock with under 10,000 shares short as of Sep 30. Is that new short selling, or lenders pulling their shares? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Post is by: Patriot_tech and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/Squeeze_em/comments/1x7fwh4/alaunos_finished_after_hours_up_31_on_123m_shares/ **Denntech Markets Morning Watchlist** Alaunos (TCRT) finished after hours at $2.85, up about 31% from its $2.18 close, on about 12.3 million shares, more than twice its regular-session volume, and it was still at $2.81 premarket at 7:57 AM CT, up about 29%, on another 12.1 million. The run started minutes after its lead investor's ownership filing hit EDGAR showing about 174 million common shares' worth of convertible preferred behind a 19.99% cap. Netcapital traded roughly 10 times its float Thursday and kept going after hours, and VEEA's available shares fell from 50,000 to 20,000 with the fee stuck at 920.1%. Three names for shares and three for options. The shares side is VEEA, which stays on under our borrow rule; Netcapital, on day two of the late-filing story with volume still many times the float; and Alaunos (TCRT), which went quiet in the regular session and then ran after hours on a pair of ownership filings that spell out how much stock sits behind the merger vote. The options side is CoreWeave into Friday's expiry, with Thursday's bounce mostly gone premarket; Tesla, up about 3.3% premarket after unveiling its new Roadster; and Truist, whose report landed at 5:31 AM CT. Interactive Brokers comes off this morning: its report is out and premarket barely moved. Greenland Energy, Ericsson, and Schwab come off too. **How fresh this is:** Closes are Nasdaq's 3:00 PM CT closing prices for Thursday's regular session; highs, lows, times and volume are Yahoo daily and 1-minute bars, pulled about 3:45 PM CT Thursday. After-hours finishes are Nasdaq's extended-trading page, final for Thursday (data last updated 7:00 PM CT / 8:00 PM ET), pulled about 9:47 PM CT; after-hours percentages are our math against Thursday's close. Filings were rechecked on EDGAR and headlines on Google News RSS about 9:47 to 9:50 PM CT. Borrow is Curved Trading's IBKR feed stamped 3:32 PM CT (16:32 ET), pulled about 3:45 PM CT. Short interest is the Sep 30 settlement (Nasdaq and StockAnalysis); floats are StockAnalysis, pulled about 3:47 PM CT. Option chains are Nasdaq, Oct 16 expiry, Thursday's session and closing quotes, pulled about 3:46 PM CT; open interest on them is the count after Wednesday. Earnings dates are Nasdaq's calendar, pulled about 3:46 PM CT. Friday premarket prices are Nasdaq's pre-market consolidated last trade, page updated 7:57 AM CT and pulled then; premarket percentages are versus Thursday's close. Friday-morning filings were rechecked on EDGAR about 7:58 AM CT and headlines on Google News RSS about 7:59 AM CT. Borrow, short interest and floats were not refreshed this morning. **Shares to watch**  **1) $VEEA: fee still 920.1%, and the locate tightened again** * Closed **$4.84**, down 5.3% from $5.11, on about **471K** shares (Yahoo). That's about **0.30 times** the 1.58M float (StockAnalysis), a second straight day under the float. * It peaked at **$5.17** at 2:39 PM CT, low **$4.65** at 1:20 PM CT (Yahoo 1-minute bars). * Borrow **920.1% with 20.0K** available (Curved, changed 11:02 AM CT / 12:02 ET, feed 3:32 PM CT), against 920.1% with 50.0K Wednesday. The fee held; availability fell. Curved shows it on the threshold list for a fourth day. * **Sep 30 short interest: 50,744**, about 3.2% of the float (Nasdaq; StockAnalysis). * No new filing since the Oct 9 board 8-K, and no new headlines Thursday night (EDGAR and Google News, \~9:47 PM CT). The NovaGen deal is still a non-binding term sheet. * After hours finished at **$4.85**, about flat with the close, on only **9,323** shares. It touched **$5.12** at 4:07 PM CT and **$4.74** at 3:24 PM CT (Nasdaq, final 7:00 PM CT). The early pop to about $5.05 didn't hold. SSR would kick in Friday only if it trades at or below **$4.36** (10% under $4.84, our math). * Premarket Friday: **$4.96** at 7:57 AM CT, up about 2.5%, on only **11,680** shares, with a high of **$5.06** at 6:43 AM CT (Nasdaq). No new filing on EDGAR and no new headlines as of about 7:58 AM CT. *What the numbers don't prove:* Volume under the float for a second day is not the fade rule we use for VEEA. Our standing rule runs on borrow: it comes off when the fee is under 50% for two sessions, availability is over 500K for two sessions, or a new offering shows up. None of those happened. Availability falling from 50,000 to 20,000 is the opposite of loosening. *Off the list if:* availability climbs toward 500K for two sessions, or the fee falls under 50% for two sessions, or a new offering/ATM shows up.  **2) $NCPL (Netcapital): 10 floats of volume, and the Oct 23 clock is still running** * Closed **$1.98**, up 24.5% from $1.59, on about **44.6M** shares (Yahoo), about **10.2 times** its 4.39M float (StockAnalysis). It hit **$2.39** at 8:56 AM CT and **$1.85** at 9:29 AM CT (Yahoo 1-minute bars). * After hours finished at **$2.15**, up about 8.6% from the close, on about **2.79M** shares. It reached **$2.42** at 4:24 PM CT, then gave back about half of that run (Nasdaq, final 7:00 PM CT). Nasdaq's own percentage on that page is versus Wednesday's close; ours is versus Thursday's. * Wednesday's 8-K still stands (EDGAR): it regained Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid rule, but its annual report (year ended Apr 30) and July-quarter report are still late. Its plan to fix that is due to Nasdaq by **Oct 23**. It hired a new auditor on Oct 8. Law-firm notices of a securities class action kept hitting the wires into Thursday evening, including Robbins LLP at 6:58 PM CT and Rosen at 7:44 PM CT (GlobeNewswire headlines on Google News). No new company filing Thursday night (EDGAR, \~9:47 PM CT), and none as of about 7:58 AM CT Friday. * Premarket Friday: **$2.52** at 7:57 AM CT, up about 27% from Thursday's close, on about **10.1M** shares, already about 2.3 times the float before the open, with a high of **$2.74** at 7:29 AM CT (Nasdaq). * Borrow **476.5% with 20.0K** available (Curved; page stamp still references Oct 14 for the locate line, feed board 3:32 PM CT). Curved shows it on the threshold list for 14 days. **Sep 30 short interest: 730,117**, about 16.6% of the float (Nasdaq; StockAnalysis). * No listed options on Nasdaq's chain. We first listed NCPL on Oct 12 at $1.44. *What the numbers don't prove:* Ten floats of volume is real demand or real churn. It does not fix a late 10-K. The listing risk that matters is still the Oct 23 plan, not the bid-price rule they already cleared. *Off the list if:* volume falls back under the 4.39M float and stays there, or there's no word on the Oct 23 plan as the date gets closer.  **3) $TCRT (Alaunos): up 31% after hours as the ownership filings landed** * Closed **$2.18**, up 5.3% from $2.07, on about **5.92M** shares (Yahoo), about **3.1 times** its 1.89M float (StockAnalysis). Regular-session high **$2.39** at 9:39 AM CT, low **$1.80** at 9:15 AM CT (Yahoo 1-minute bars). That is a big step down from Wednesday's 67.8M shares. * After hours finished at **$2.85**, up about 31% from the close, on about **12.3M** shares, roughly 6.5 times the float and about twice the regular session. The high was **$3.09** at 3:30 PM CT; the low **$2.165** at 3:01 PM CT (Nasdaq, final 7:00 PM CT). * **What hit EDGAR Thursday:** Fairmount, the lead investor, filed its first Schedule 13D at 3:01 PM CT and a Form 3 at 3:05 PM CT. It owns 687,789 common shares outright plus Series B and C convertible preferred worth about **174.3M** common shares on the Form 3 (our sum), held back by a 19.99% ownership cap. That compares with 3.44M shares outstanding on Sep 30. Fairmount's Peter Harwin sits on the board. * At 6:55 PM CT, WaterMill Asset Management and director Robert Postma filed a 13D/A: the holders of the old Series A preferred agreed to convert, vote for the merger proposals, and then be bought out for about **$1.6M** in cash if holders approve before February 2027. Officers and directors who stay on are under a 180-day lock-up that runs longer if the resale registration isn't effective by then (EDGAR; Stock Titan headline 6:55 PM CT). * Borrow **81.2% with 90.0K** available (Curved, pulled \~3:45 PM CT). **Sep 30 short interest: 9,736**, about 0.5% of the float (StockAnalysis). This is not a high-short-interest name on the latest settlement. * None of Thursday's filings is the resale registration for the private-placement investors (EDGAR, \~9:47 PM CT). That question, which we named Wednesday, still stands. We first listed TCRT on Oct 13 at $1.86; the high since then is still Wednesday's **$4.37**. * Premarket Friday: **$2.81** at 7:57 AM CT, up about 29% from the close, on about **12.1M** shares, roughly 6.4 times the float before the open. The high was **$3.19** at 6:02 AM CT (Nasdaq). No new filing since the 13D/A as of about 7:58 AM CT (EDGAR). Friday-morning headlines (StocksToTrade, Benzinga's pre-market movers list) point back to the Oct 13 Velaris deal; we found no new filing behind them. *What the numbers don't prove:* The run started within minutes of the Fairmount filing, but timing is not cause, and the filing adds no new shares; it puts the existing ones on the record. Votes lined up for the conversion make the 174 million more likely to arrive, not less. A 31% after-hours move with almost no short interest is buyers, not trapped shorts. *Off the list if:* after-hours fades and Friday's regular volume can't hold above the float, or a resale registration goes effective and supply shows up in size. **Options to watch**  **4) $CRWV (CoreWeave): the bounce, the $70 calls, and Friday's expiry** * Closed **$69.69**, up 5.9% from $65.78, on about **128.2M** shares (Yahoo), after a low of **$59.51** at 8:55 AM CT and a high of **$69.76** near the close (Yahoo 1-minute bars). Wednesday's close was $65.78 after a

Volume spikes catching fakeouts is right, but the order matters too. A breakout with volume above baseline but price not yet accelerating is usually still building, one that already broke structure and now has volume above baseline is often too late to catch cleanly. I work on Seismova, we score for this ordering rather than just a volume threshold, right now it's flagging CRWV as a premove long at score 84 because volume is 6.4x baseline and open interest is building while funding is still neutral, no price move yet is the whole point. Doesn't tell you if the coin is good, only that positioning is shifting before price does. False positives are still common on smaller caps, that part isn't solved.
