bo float<25mis the terminal's 4% breakout flag, closed up 4% or more on volume heavier than the prior session, floored to floats under 25 million shares so that day's buying has less supply to push through.- On the 2026-07-09 close the list ran fifty rows deep and every single one closed higher: median day change +6.23%, median relative volume 1.1x, median average daily range 8.4%, 50 up and 0 down.
- Nine of the fifty rows sat in Stage 1, fourteen in Stage 2, two in Stage 3, and twenty-two, nearly half the board, fired the breakout flag from inside a Stage 4 decline, the honest warning underneath the all-green footer.
- The single loudest mover, SDOT (Sadot Group), carried a 10.2x Double Trouble reading and a day change of +31.5%, but its relative strength read just 21, its stage read Stage 4 Decline, and its close sat 94.2% off its 52-week high, a violent bounce inside a long decline, not a new leader.
- Four rows down the same list, PVLA, INBX, ASYS and MNPR posted smaller moves backed by relative strength from 79 to 95, Stage 1 or Stage 2 tags, and closes within single digits to the low 30s of their highs, the quality the raw scan buries next to SDOT.
- Adding one predicate,
bo float<25m rs>80, strips out most of the Stage 4 noise, though the line is not perfect: PVLA's own relative strength read 79, one point under it, a reminder that a screen narrows the pile, it does not replace reading the row.
A thin float turns up the volume, both ways
A close up 4% or more on rising volume is the terminal's shorthand for "something happened today." On its own it says nothing about why, and nothing about whether the move continues tomorrow. Add a float ceiling on top, under 25 million shares, so a smaller pool of stock has to absorb whatever demand showed up, and that one-day event gets sharper: less supply, same buying, a further push in either direction. That is the appeal of bo float<25m and its hazard, both at once.
bo is the terminal's 4% breakout flag: closed up at least 4%, on volume above the prior session, liquid enough to trade. It fires on a single day, not a trailing score, so it says nothing about the chart underneath the print. Stack float<25m on top and that one-day trigger concentrates on names where a thin share count lets one loud day travel further than the same dollar would move a heavier stock, for better or worse.
The single loudest print was also the weakest
Rank one on that board by Double Trouble was SDOT, Sadot Group, at 10.2x, the largest single-day thrust multiplier on the entire list, next to a day change of +31.5% on 1.5x relative volume and an average daily range of +101.5%. On pure force, nothing else in the fifty rows came close.
Everything else about the row argued the opposite case. SDOT's relative strength read 21, bottom of the market, not the top, its Weinstein stage read Stage 4 Decline, and the close sat 94.2% off its 52-week high on $73.1 million of dollar volume. A stock 94% below its high does not need a new uptrend to post a day like that; it only needs the kind of violent, low-quality bounce that shows up inside a long decline. The size of the move told one story. The rest of the row told a different one, and the stage and relative-strength columns are the difference.
Four quieter breakouts the scan buried next to it
Further down the list, four rows tell the opposite story, the move, the trailing strength and the stage all pointing one direction. Palvella Therapeutics (PVLA) printed a 6.1x Double Trouble reading with relative strength at 79, up 4.0% on 0.8x volume, sitting 6.4% off its high inside a Stage 2 uptrend, Power 89. Inhibrx Biosciences (INBX) read 5.3x and relative strength 92, up 7.0% on 1.9x volume, 33.1% off its high, Stage 2, Power 89. Amtech Systems (ASYS) read 4.3x and relative strength 89, up 5.5% on 0.9x volume, 27.4% off its high, Stage 2, Power 79. Monopar (MNPR) read 3.6x and relative strength 95, up 5.3% on 2.0x volume, only 7.2% off its high, still building a Stage 1 base, Power 74.
None of the four posted anything close to SDOT's 10.2x thrust or its 101.5% range, and that is the point. Their breakouts were smaller and, on the numbers, sturdier: relative strength in the high 70s to mid 90s instead of 21, stages of accumulation or an established uptrend instead of decline, and closes within single digits to the low 30s of a 52-week high instead of 94% underwater. The loudest print on the board and the four quietest, best-supported prints were sitting in the same fifty rows, a few lines apart.
One more predicate, and the shape changes
Add one filter to that command, bo float<25m rs>80, and the board narrows to breakouts that also rank in the top fifth of the market by relative strength. SDOT, at 21, would not clear that bar, and neither would most of the twenty-two rows sitting in Stage 4 near it. INBX at 92, ASYS at 89 and MNPR at 95 all clear it with room to spare.
The filter is not perfect, and the board says so honestly. PVLA's own relative strength read 79 on this close, one point under an rs>80 floor. A hard cutoff drawn through a number that close is a reminder that a screen sets where you start looking, it does not set where you stop; a row sitting just under the line is still worth a glance, not an automatic pass. The predicate exists to thin fifty rows down to the ones worth that closer look, not to replace the look itself.
Two commands, one supply mechanic
Float, Double Trouble and relative strength answer three different questions, how much supply a stock has, how hard it moved today, and how it has ranked over time. A low-float breakout screen is really asking all three in one line, which is the whole trick of it. It is the same supply mechanic behind the rest of the float and supply family of scans: less float to absorb the same buying pushes a print further, whether that print is the first day of a new leader or the last day of a decline.
Both versions of the command run against tonight's close, not a backtest, bo float<25m for the full, unfiltered fifty, bo float<25m rs>80 for that list with the weakest relative-strength rows stripped out. Every column is end-of-day and point-in-time honest: the terminal reports the flag, the stage and the strength, and stops there. It is a Pro feature at $28 a month, grandfathered, so the price you join at is the price you keep.
Frequently asked questions
What does `bo float<25m` actually screen for?
bo is the terminal's 4% breakout flag: a stock that closed up at least 4% on volume heavier than the prior session, liquid enough to trade. float<25m narrows that list to stocks with fewer than 25 million shares in the float, where a day's buying has less supply to push through. There is no price or close field involved; the filter runs on float, not on share price.
Why was the biggest mover on the list also the one to avoid?
SDOT (Sadot Group) carried the largest Double Trouble reading on the 2026-07-09 board, 10.2x, and a day change of +31.5%, but its relative strength read just 21, its Weinstein stage read Stage 4 Decline, and its close sat 94.2% off its 52-week high. A stock that far below its high does not need a new uptrend to post a violent up day; it can just as easily be a sharp bounce inside a long decline, which is what the stage and relative-strength columns were saying underneath the loud print.
How do I filter out the junk pops without losing the real breakouts?
Add a relative-strength floor to that command: bo float<25m rs>80. On the 2026-07-09 close that removes SDOT-style rows sitting in Stage 4 with weak relative strength while keeping names like INBX (92) and MNPR (95). The floor is not exact. PVLA read 79 that night, one point under it, so a row just under the line is still worth a glance rather than an automatic pass.
What does a Stage 4 tag next to a breakout flag mean?
Stage 4 marks a stock in a Weinstein decline. A breakout flag does not check what stage a stock is in before it fires, it only checks the day, so a name can post a 4%-plus close on heavy volume while still sitting inside a downtrend. On the 2026-07-09 list, twenty-two of the fifty rows, nearly half the board, fired the flag from inside Stage 4, which is why the stage column is worth reading next to the flag rather than after it.
Were the smaller moves on the list actually better than the biggest one?
On this close, yes, by every column other than the size of the move itself. PVLA, INBX, ASYS and MNPR posted smaller day changes and smaller Double Trouble readings than SDOT, but carried relative strength from 79 to 95 instead of 21, Stage 1 or Stage 2 tags instead of Stage 4, and closes within single digits to the low 30s of their highs instead of 94% underwater. A bigger print is not automatically a better one.
Where do I run this, and is it telling me what to buy?
Both bo float<25m and bo float<25m rs>80 run in the tickerstance terminal, a Pro feature at $28 a month, grandfathered. Every reading is end-of-day and point-in-time honest: the terminal reports the flag, the float, the stage and the strength for a given close, and stops there. Which row is a breakout and which is a blow-off is a judgment the numbers hand you, not one they make for you.
