“How can you trade something that’s already up 200%? Now it’s up 300%. Now it’s up 1,300%.”

I hear that every single time one of these low float runners appears on screen. And today, $PAVS gave me the perfect answer. To Subscribe to Trade Ideas: https://go.trade-ideas.com/SHQ

What happened with PAVS

Let me take you back to the daily chart. Yesterday, this thing started at 80 cents. It had a little pop — got up to around $2.50 — and closed out. Not spectacular. Not the kind of move that’s going to get everyone talking.

Then today happened.

PAVS absolutely exploded. At its peak, we were looking at a move of over 1,300% from where it started the previous day. That is not a typo.

This one is different — and that matters

Here’s something worth paying attention to. If you’ve been watching low float runners lately, you know the pattern — the vast majority of them, I’d say around 90%, have been Chinese stocks. That whole wave became almost predictable. Traders got conditioned to it.

PAVS is not a China stock. This one caught fire on its own. That distinction tells me something different is driving the buying, and that’s worth knowing when you’re assessing the risk and the opportunity.

Why the size of the move shouldn’t scare you off

Here’s the thing people get wrong. They anchor to where the stock was. They see it’s already up 300% and they think the opportunity is gone. But the stock doesn’t care where it started. The question is never how much has it moved — it’s is there still momentum, and is there a clean entry with defined risk?

Traders around the world are watching the same screens. When a low float stock is printing moves like this, it shows up on everyone’s radar simultaneously. That’s real demand. That’s real buying pressure. And it can carry a stock much further than what feels rational from the outside.

My plan from here

Yes, it pulled back intraday. That’s completely normal for something moving this fast. I’m not chasing the top. But I’m also not closing the book on PAVS.

What I’m watching: Does volume hold on the pullback? Does it find a base and set up again? If the answer is yes, there may be another trade here. The best entry on a runner like this is often the second setup — not the first spike.

I’ll keep watching and share what I see. In the meantime — don’t let the size of a move talk you out of thinking clearly about it.
