Premarket Volume Scan

Market Narrative

## Premarket Scan for August 7, 2026 Volume is the deciding factor this morning, and SPCX sits at the top of the list with 255 million shares traded premarket, a 6.14% gap up, and a 3.6% premarket range. That combination of mass participation and meaningful but not overextended gap size is exactly what the shares-only strategy targets. The price at $114.92 gives enough room to work with on a HOD breakout setup if the stock consolidates near the top of its premarket range into the open. TTD is the other name demanding attention despite being a gap-down play, sitting at $17.67 with 92 million shares of premarket volume and a wide 5.94% premarket range. That range width pushes TTD toward a VWAP reclaim or fade setup rather than a clean breakout, as price is more likely to see chop before committing to direction. NVDA at 115 million shares premarket looks heavy with only a 0.1% gap and a 0.87% range, which makes it a volume leader without a directional thesis unless macro catalysts shift sentiment at the open. INTC and PATH round out the watchlist with respectable volume but narrow ranges, keeping them as secondary setups behind the leaders. AMEM shows a massive 116% gap but zero confirmed premarket volume, which is a disqualifying red flag regardless of gap size. Volume confirms conviction. That gap does not. Macro context is the defining overlay for the entire session today. Non-Farm Payrolls print this morning with a forecast of 85,000 jobs against a prior reading of 57,000, and Unemployment Rate is expected to hold at 4.2%. Average Hourly Earnings are also due with a 0.3% forecast. This combination means the first 15 to 30 minutes carry elevated risk of sharp directional moves across the entire market. A payrolls beat could lift sentiment broadly and give SPCX and NVDA cleaner long setups. A miss could accelerate TTD's gap-down and create LOD breakdown opportunities on weaker names. The key is to avoid committing to entries before the number hits and the initial volatility flushes out. Let the market show its hand before sizing in. Strategy approach for today centers on patience and letting volume confirm direction after the macro print. For SPCX, the plan is a HOD breakout on the open if it holds its premarket range and volume stays elevated through 9:45 to 10:00 ET. TTD warrants a VWAP-based approach given its wide range, watching for a reclaim or a clean break below
