| LONG IE Skipped | Ivanhoe Electric Inc. | Catalyst: 2026 Santa Cruz Copper Project Preliminary Feasibility Study results released before market open 9/23 + investor webinar 10:00am ET. NYSE American listed. Pattern: consolidation into binary catalyst event; study de-risks advanced-stage Arizona copper project. Price levels: watch for break above pre-announcement highs on positive PFS; support at recent lows if disappointing. Volume likely elevated on 9/22 announcement day providing liquidity. | 8 | $9.85 | $10.40 | $10.52 | ▲ +5.58% |
| SHORT XRTX Skipped | XORTX Therapeutics Inc. | Pumped 15.7% on 9/18 on IND pathway announcement (Q4 2026 submission) with 144x avg volume (7.22M vs 50k).

| SHORT UCO Skipped | ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil | EIA petroleum report at 10:30 ET tomorrow is the key catalyst. WTI technicals show bearish channel intact with resistance at $94.75 (100/200 hour MAs) and price at $93.67. Saudi exports recovering via Hormuz (2.9M bpd vs 700K bpd in Aug) and Iran diplomatic progress reducing geopolitical premium. EIA report likely to confirm ample supply given improving flows, pressuring WTI below $91.37 support toward $88.68. UCO 2x leverage amplifies intraday downside on bearish inventory data. | 8 | $51.73 | $52.16 | $51.37 | ▼ -0.83% |
| SHORT XOP Entered $183.07 | SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF | Same EIA petroleum report at 10:30 ET catalyst. XOP correlates with WTI and will react to inventory/refinery utilization data. Oil equities have lagged futures recent sessions; bearish oil technicals plus improving Saudi/Iran supply fundamentals create downside into report. Expect gap lower on any build or weak refinery runs, targeting recent lows. | 7 | $183.07 | $182.65 | $181.90 | ▲ +0.23% |
