Premarket Volume Scan

Market Narrative

## Premarket Scan for August 10, 2026 The top candidate heading into Monday's open is SPCX, leading all names with 242 million shares of premarket volume alongside a 15.83% gap higher. That combination is the clearest signal on the board. The premarket range of 4.39% is wide enough to warrant a VWAP-anchored approach rather than chasing the gap directly. When a stock moves this far on this much volume before the open, price discovery is still happening, and VWAP will act as the reference point that large participants use to assess whether they are getting filled at reasonable prices. The strategy here is shares only, which is appropriate given that illiquid options on a name like this will widen dramatically on a day like today. TTD is the second-highest volume name with 133 million shares and a sharp 21.9% gap down to $13.80. That kind of flush on that volume suggests real sellers, not noise. TTD also fits a shares-only approach, and the play is to watch for a HOD/LOD breakout setup once the first 15 minutes establish a range. Buying the bounce without a confirmed base is a trap on a gap-down of this magnitude. NVDA rounds out the top three by volume with 106 million shares, though the 2.27% gap and 0.97% premarket range tell a different story than SPCX or TTD. This is a high-volume drift, not a high-volume catalyst move. On NVDA, the tighter premarket range points toward a HOD breakout strategy if broad market conditions support continuation. PLTR and INTC both carry meaningful premarket volume as well. PLTR is up 10.32% with a 2.65% premarket range, which puts it in the VWAP camp. INTC shows a 6.5% premarket range on 76 million shares with only a 1.84% gap, which is an unusual combination and worth watching for a HOD/LOD breakout as the range compresses into the open. TLT at 96 million shares is worth noting as a macro sentiment gauge even though the 0.29% move is not tradeable directly. Heavy bond ETF volume on a quiet macro day often signals positioning ahead of moves traders expect later in the week. No high-impact macro events are scheduled for August 10, 2026, which removes a layer of risk from individual setups but also removes a catalyst for broad market follow-through. On days like this, stocks with genuine volume stories such as SPCX and TTD tend to hold their ranges better because the volume is name-specific rather than macro-driven.
