Premarket Volume Scan

Market Narrative

## Premarket Scan for August 4, 2026 NVDA leads the August 4, 2026 scan by raw volume, printing 129.7 million shares premarket on a 2.93% gap to $206.64. That combination is exactly what the volume-first approach targets. The premarket range is tight at 1.82%, which keeps the HOD breakout strategy clean. When the range is this compressed, the open either holds and expands cleanly through the high, or it fails fast and gives a LOD short. There is no ambiguity in the setup. SNXX is the second-highest volume name at 110 million shares with an 11.67% gap and a wide 14.09% PM range, making it a VWAP reclaim or rejection play rather than a straight breakout. Wide ranges mean price discovery is still happening, and chasing the open on SNXX carries more slippage risk than trading it as it reacts to VWAP after the first 15 minutes. AMZN and INTC both clear 90 million shares premarket, which is notable on a day with no scheduled macro catalysts. AMZN is up 4.58% to $284.02 with a 1.9% PM range, another tight-range HOD breakout candidate. INTC at $91 shows only a 0.89% gap but 96 million shares, suggesting positioning more than directional conviction. Watch INTC for VWAP-anchored range trading rather than a trend follow. SOFI has 83.7 million shares behind a 10.55% move to $18.03, but the PM range is just 1.05%, the tightest in the scan. That kind of compression on a big gap often resolves with a sharp directional move off the open. Shares-only is the right vehicle across all five names given the liquidity profile and strategy designations. DFNS shows a 122% gap but zero reported volume, making it unplayable regardless of the headline number. With no high-impact macro events on the calendar today, the tape should trade on stock-specific catalysts rather than broad risk sentiment. That is a favorable environment for individual breakout setups because there is no Fed headline or jobs number waiting to reverse the market at 8:30. The volume leaders with no directional move, RITR, MGN, YYAI, SXTC, and ZBAO, are worth monitoring as potential sympathy plays or sector rotation signals, but they do not have defined setups yet. The priority list for today is NVDA and AMZN as HOD breakout setups using the shares
