Premarket Setups
A “setup” is a pattern on the price chart that MapleGamma's screen flagged — it says nothing about the business behind the stock. The score is the screen's own ranking: more signals lined up means a higher score. It is not a percentage, and it is not the 0–10 market score used elsewhere on the site. None of this is a recommendation.
- MSFT — score 11, +3.47% (not overbought or oversold; moving strongly in one direction; above its 20-day average price)
- ARKK — score 10, +3.93% (not overbought or oversold; moving strongly in one direction; above its 20-day average price)
- IBIT — score 10, -2.10% (sold off unusually hard lately; pulled back from a recent high)
