Market Trends and Patterns
The session was defined by broad-based strength in companies tied to advanced materials and energy-related technologies. Battery-materials plays ELBM and STI led the charge, each more than doubling on outsized volume. Recycling specialist Aqua Metals (AQMS) topped the board with a 211% advance after securing regulatory compliance and signing an MOU on lithium-ion recycling. Flow-battery developer ESS Tech (GWH) surged 146% as investors cheered fresh capital raises to back its gigawatt-scale Energy Base pivot.
Mid-caps with renewed momentum in agricultural inputs and specialty chemicals also outperformed. Enlightify (ENFY) rallied 121% despite a recent compliance warning, buoyed by new product rollouts. Biotech-leaning ASST and nutraceutical IPDN posted more modest gains but traded heavily as retail interest picked back up.
Rounded out by industrial names such as BE and USAR, today’s rally suggests investors are rotating into earlier-stage technology and materials stories after a choppy stretch. Volume spikes in ELBM, AQMS, GWH, and BYND confirm that conviction.

- STI: Solidion Technology surged 198% as it revealed a major breakthrough in solid-state EV battery prototypes alongside a Bitcoin treasury allocation.

- GWH: ESS Tech added 146% amid equity offerings totaling $1.76 million to fund its iron-flow gigawatt Energy Base system.
