LONG MARA
Skipped
Marathon Digital HoldingsAugust Nonfarm Payrolls released 8:30 AM ET tomorrow; weaker-than-expected jobs data would boost Fed rate-cut odds, lifting Bitcoin and correlated miners. MARA closed today at ~$18.50 on 49M shares (well above 500k), holding above its 20-day SMA with a tight 9:30-11:30 AM range of 8.5%, offering a defined risk/reward for a momentum long.7$11.24$10.09$11.21▼ -10.23%
LONG CLSK
Skipped
CleanSpark IncSame NFP catalyst as MARA — crypto miners are highly sensitive to rate expectations. CLSK finished at ~$12.30 on 23M volume, breaking out of a two-week consolidation with an 8.4% average morning range. A soft jobs print could trigger a gap-and-go above $12.50 resistance.7$13.50$12.30$14.01▼ -8.89%
SHORT IONQ
Entered $41.80
IonQ IncNFP catalyst: a strong jobs report would reinforce higher-for-longer rates, pressuring speculative, pre-revenue quantum names. IONQ closed at ~$9.80 after tagging $10.00 resistance and reversing on elevated volume (21M avg), with a 6.3% morning range that favors a fade if the tape opens weak.6$41.80$44.43$39.65▼ -6.29%

SHORT NUWE
Skipped
Nuwellis, Inc.Price $1.88. Today +16.77% on 35.3M shares (15x 20-day avg 2.3M) — extreme volume expansion with no identifiable fundamental catalyst in feeds.

SHORT GCTK
Skipped

Key level: fail to hold $0.58 targets $0.45 (50% retrace). Risk above $0.65.7$0.52$0.43$0.41▲ +17.31%

Risk defined below $3.00 (today's VWAP approx).6$3.08$3.27$3.28▲ +6.17%

Unconfirmed
