FCUV +380.9%, AMIX +351.9%: The Trailing 5-Session Runner Map (+1,015.7% MFE)

Five small-caps posted close-to-close gains of 170% or more over the trailing five sessions (Jul 29–Aug 4), and the biggest single-session move handed day traders a +1,015.7% max favorable excursion. This is the data digest for Wednesday, August 5, 2026 — the runners, the patterns, the filings, and what is still setting up in pre-market.

All profit figures below use a $10,000 base position.

TLDR

• FCUV +380.9% ($2.20 → $10.58) and AMIX +351.9% ($4.32 → $19.50) led the trailing five-session runner board — both post-split rebases on heavy volume.
• CYCU printed the fattest intraday window: +1,015.7% TRUE MFE on July 30 (low-to-high, all sessions). A $10,000 position catching the full excursion returned $101,570.
• HYFM closed its market session −32.1% on August 3 yet offered +714.2% MFE — the textbook "red close, green day trade."
• 212 scanner patterns fired in the past 7 days at 100% completion, above the 90-day weekly average of 192.4. Wholesale-Non-Durable RVOL rotated in +2,167% week-over-week.
• Pre-market is still running hot today: HYFM +327.3% and AMIX +304.4% at 8:15 AM ET — the continuation tape is live.

The Macro Backdrop: Broad Strength with Small-Caps Participating

The macro tape is Broad Strength with Small-Caps Participating — every major proxy sits at or near its 52-week high, which is the cleanest possible backdrop for small-cap follow-through. When the indices are green and the Russell is leading, breakouts hold instead of fading.

The Russell 2000 (IWM) at $301.71 is −0.3% from its 52-week high of $302.72 — small caps are not lagging the large-cap tape, they are moving with it. That is the environment where a 100M-share micro-float can run 300% in a session and hold the bid.

Scanner Highlights: Five Runners, 170%+ Each

The trailing five sessions (Jul 29–Aug 4) produced 15 tickers with a split-adjusted close-to-close gain of 50% or more. The five that matter most — the ones with the volume, the float mechanics, and the continuation potential — are below.

FCUV topped the board at +380.9%, running from $2.20 to $10.58 across the five-session window on 103.1M peak-session shares. FCUV is flagged as a post-split rebase, and the specific catalyst was not identified in available press releases — this was a pure volume-and-float move in the Instruments space, which itself sits inside the Medical Instruments rotation (RVOL 1.05 → 6.05, +474% week-over-week).

AMIX ran +351.9% ($4.32 → $19.50) and delivered the cleanest single-session structure of the group. On August 4, AMIX opened its market session at $5.38, tagged a high of $24.68, and closed at $19.50 — a +262.4% market-session move on 120.0M shares. Its full-day TRUE MFE (low $5.24 to the $24.68 high, all sessions) was +617.4%. The catalyst was a filing-adjacent corporate release: Autonomix Medical announced a broad new U.S. patent supporting nerve sensing, mapping, and targeted therapy (August 4 press release). AMIX carries a reverse split 1:21 dated June 24, 2026 — worth knowing before you read any historical price on the chart. A $10,000 position riding the market open-to-close move captured $26,240 (+262.4%); the full intraday excursion was worth $61,740 (+617.4%).

Winners That Closed Red: HYFM

HYFM is the clearest "red close, green day" case of the week. On August 3, HYFM opened its market session at $3.11, faded to a $1.45 market low, and closed the regular session at $2.11 — a −32.1% market-session print. If you only look at the close, you missed it. The full-day range was $0.51 to a $4.12 pre-market high, and the TRUE MFE low-to-high across all sessions was +714.2% on 146.2M shares — 3,505.8x its average daily volume. A $10,000 position that timed the low and exited into strength captured $71,420 (+714.2%); the same position held to the market close lost roughly a third.

HYFM had a real driver: Hydrofarm completed the sale of Aurora Peat Products and launched "Project Agility" to scale its logistics platform (August 3 press release). It also carries a reverse split 1:10 dated February 13, 2025. The lesson is mechanical — with a 3.85M share float, the move lived and died in the first two sessions, and holding for the close was a different trade entirely.

The Fattest Window: CYCU +1,015.7% MFE

CYCU produced the single largest intraday opportunity of the period. On July 30, CYCU's market session ran +398.3% — open $0.32, high $1.84, close $1.61 — then extended to a $2.16 after-hours close. The TRUE MFE low-to-high across all sessions was +1,015.7% on 645.5M shares. A $10,000 position capturing the full excursion returned $101,570.

CYCU's catalyst was corporate M&A, not a small-cap earnings line: Cycurion closed its acquisition of the Digital Ally Video Solutions business, adding more than $5 million in revenue and over $1.2 million in EBITDA and bringing its annual revenue run rate to approximately $30 million (August 4 press release), alongside the related $6.1 million Kustom Entertainment divestiture. CYCU's cash runway sits in the under 3 months tier — a financing event is close, which is exactly the dynamic covered in Trading the Dilution Cycle: Pre-Offering Runs and Post-ATM Fades.

GSUN rounded out the featured five at +172.6% ($0.20 → $0.53) on 175.1M peak-session shares in Consumer Defensive. GSUN also happens to be a repeat name — it topped the same-weekday board on July 29 at +64%, so it was already on the radar of anyone tracking Wednesday tape.

Pattern Activity: 212 Setups, 100% Completion, Above Average

Scanner pattern activity ran hot and clean: 212 patterns fired over the past 7 days at a 100% completion rate, above the 90-day weekly average of 192.4. This was an active period, not a quiet one.

The follow-through numbers on the deeper 30-day sample reinforce it. The high-volume breakout setup — stocks trading 100M+ shares intraday — triggered 122 times over the past 30 days and all 122 hit target, a 100% follow-through rate; 29 of those fired this week against a 90-day weekly average of 34.3. Intraday-doubling moves, where price ran from session low to double at the high, fired 16 times this week against a 63.0 average — a lighter week for that specific pattern even as breakouts stayed elevated.

The liquidity test pattern is the one worth watching: 114 fired and all 114 completed. These are the sweeps where market makers probe a level to test supply before committing — or where insiders build a position ahead of a catalyst. CYCU's $0.32 market low, tagged at the open before the +398% rip, is what one looks like on a chart.

Filing Activity: Offerings, Insiders, and the Dilution Overhang

The filing tape backs the volume. In the past 3 days, offering and registration activity broke down as follows:

On the 8-K side, 425 filings landed from 394 unique tickers over the past 3 days — a broad current-events tape. Insider activity clustered too: five tickers logged 3+ Form 4 filings in three days, led by IBEX with 13, MFP with 11, BCAL with 10, and CVNA and SRTA at 9 each.

The dilution backdrop is the context every one of these runners lives inside. Across all tracked tickers the platform shows approximate counts (exact totals withheld): ~5,800 active warrant facilities, ~3,100 shelves, ~2,100 ATM programs, ~1,400 convertible notes, ~800 convertible preferred, ~600 S-1 offerings, and ~500 equity lines. That is the overhang. When a name like CYCU (under 3 months of runway) or AMIX (3–6 months) rips 300%+, the company and its market makers have every incentive to raise into the strength. That cuts both ways: buying blindly into a live offering is how you get diluted, but the pre-offering run — where the stock is pushed up before shares get priced at higher levels — is a fast, tradable window for anyone watching the filing tape.

What's Setting Up: The Pre-Market Tape Is Still Live

As of 8:15 AM ET today, two of this week's featured runners are extending in pre-market. This is a continuation tape, not a fresh setup — the same names, another leg.

HYFM is turning over its 3.85M float 19.82x in pre-market alone — a 76.3M-share pre-market session with a high +630.5% off the open. AMIX is rotating its 950K float 19.07x with $130.3M in pre-market dollar volume. Both are supply-constrained micro-floats extending on continuation, and both sit inside sectors that rotated in hard: Wholesale-Non-Durable (HYFM) went from RVOL 2.03 to 45.98 week-over-week, a +2,167% surge, and Medical Instruments (AMIX) ran +474%.

The sector rotation board is where next week's runners are hiding:

Capital is rotating into Wholesale-Non-Durable and Construction at a rate that dwarfs the rest of the tape. Those are the buckets to filter first.

Scanner Setup of the Week: The Micro-Float Continuation Scan

The setup that caught all five of these names before they ran is a float-and-RVOL filter, not a price alert. Here is the exact SNACS scanner configuration to catch the next FCUV or AMIX:

• Float: under 5M shares (the entire featured group except the highest-float names lives here — supply constraint is the fuel)
• RVOL: 5x minimum, sort descending (HYFM hit 3,505.8x ADV; the leaders always surface at the top)
• Volume: 10M+ intraday floor to filter noise
• Price: $0.20–$25 to capture both the sub-dollar squeezes (GSUN, CYCU) and the post-split names (AMIX, FCUV)
• Sector filter: lead with Wholesale-Non-Durable, Construction, and Medical Instruments — the three deepest rotations

Save that as a named preset, then link it to a Dynamic Watchlist so matched tickers auto-populate in real time — a scan within your scan. When a name crosses your float and RVOL thresholds, it shows a colored square in the main stream and you are looking at it before the second leg.

How to Play This

The framework across all five runners is the same: the float tells you whether the move can happen, the RVOL tells you it's happening, and the filing tape tells you why — and when it ends.

• Entry: Micro-floats move on the open. AMIX opened its market session at $5.38 and was at $24.68 within the session; CYCU tagged its $0.32 low at the open before the +398% rip. The liquidity-test sweep — a probe of the low right after the bell — is often the entry, not the exit.
• Risk: These are two-way. HYFM offered +714.2% MFE and still closed its market session −32.1%. If you are not managing the trade actively, the round-trip is real. Set your stop under the liquidity-test low and respect it.
• Dilution timing: Names with under-6-month runway (CYCU, AMIX) run into offerings. The pre-offering push is tradable; being long when the 424B5 prices is not. Click the ticker to open the ticker details page and check the dilution risk panel before you size up.

How to Find These Setups

Three tools, three angles on the same data:

1. SNACS scanner — set the float/RVOL preset above. Click any ticker to open the ticker details page: chart, dilution risk panel (active shelf/ATM/warrant facilities), recent news, and SEC filings without leaving the scan. The Dilution Alerts column flags the overhang inline.
2. SEC research — before you trade a runner with thin runway, pull its Dilution Snapshot: active facility counts, shares at risk, lowest exercise price. Ask the AI chat "what is CYCU's cash runway and active facility count" in plain English.
3. AI Playbook Builder — build the micro-float continuation as a multi-step playbook (historical context → liquidity-test sweep → volume trigger → entry → exit). Active playbooks monitor every scanner ticker and drop a star indicator the moment a name matches, in-app or by SMS.

For the pre-market angle specifically, the August 3 continuation map on HYFM walks the same mechanics, and Monday's broad volume surge with FCUV leading covers the wider RVOL board this data digest builds on.

Conclusion: Watch the Continuation, Respect the Overhang

The trailing five sessions were a runner-heavy tape inside a Broad Strength macro backdrop — the best combination for follow-through. FCUV and AMIX led on post-split volume, CYCU handed out a +1,015.7% intraday window, and HYFM proved again that a red close and a green day trade are not the same thing. With HYFM and AMIX both extending +300% in pre-market today, the continuation leg is live right now.

Next session, watch the two deepest rotations — Wholesale-Non-Durable and Construction — for the next micro-float to cross 5x RVOL. And keep the filing tape open: with ~2,100 active ATM programs and eight 424B5 pricings in the last three days, every one of these runners is trading against a company that wants to sell into the strength. Trade the run up; get out before the raise.

FAQ

What was the biggest small-cap mover over the last five sessions?

FCUV led the trailing five-session runner board with a +380.9% close-to-close gain, running from $2.20 to $10.58 on 103.1M peak-session shares. AMIX followed at +351.9% ($4.32 → $19.50) on 120.0M shares. Both are flagged as post-split rebases.

What is TRUE MFE and why does a stock that closed red still matter?

TRUE MFE (Max Favorable Excursion) is the best possible trade from the day's low to its high across all sessions — pre-market, regular, and after-hours. A stock can close its market session red and still offer a large MFE: HYFM closed −32.1% on August 3 but offered +714.2% MFE from its $0.51 low to its $4.12 pre-market high. For an active day trader who timed the entry and exit, that was a full trade regardless of the close.

How do I set up a scanner to catch these micro-float runners?

In the SNACS scanner, filter float under 5M shares, RVOL 5x minimum sorted descending, volume 10M+, and price $0.20–$25. Lead your sector filter with Wholesale-Non-Durable, Construction, and Medical Instruments — the three deepest week-over-week rotations. Save it as a preset and link it to a Dynamic Watchlist so matches auto-populate live.

Why do small-caps with low cash runway keep running before they dilute?

Companies with thin runway — CYCU sits under 3 months, AMIX in the 3–6 month tier — need to raise capital, and they raise into strength. Market makers and the company often push the stock up before pricing an offering at higher levels. That creates a tradable pre-offering run, but being long when the 424B5 prices is how you get diluted. Check the dilution risk panel on the ticker details page before sizing.

What does RVOL tell me about a penny stock?

RVOL (Relative Volume) measures today's volume against the average. HYFM traded at 3,505.8x its average daily volume on August 3 — that is not normal accumulation, it is a catalyst-driven event. RVOL above 5x sorted descending is the single best filter for surfacing the day's real movers before the price fully extends.

Was this an active or quiet period for pattern activity?

Active. 212 scanner patterns fired over the past 7 days at a 100% completion rate, above the 90-day weekly average of 192.4. That breaks down to 44 stocks trading 100M+ shares intraday, 114 liquidity tests, and 54 stocks with 100%+ intraday gains.

What is a liquidity test pattern?

A liquidity test is where market makers sweep a price level to probe supply and demand before the real move, or where insiders build a position ahead of a catalyst. 114 fired over the past 7 days and all 114 completed. CYCU's $0.32 market-session low, tagged at the open before its +398% rip, is a textbook example.

How many offering filings hit the tape this week?

In the past 3 days, 8 companies filed 424B5 takedown pricings, 7 filed 424B3 prospectuses, 4 filed new S-3 shelves, 4 filed F-3 foreign shelves, and 2 filed S-3/A amendments. On the events side, 425 8-K filings landed from 394 unique tickers.
