At a glance (today):

Live price & range: As of 19:48 UTC, MTC last traded around $1.15 after swinging between $0.291 and $1.64 intraday — a 5.6× peak‑to‑trough range. Volume topped 274M shares.
Intraday move: Roughly +271% vs. the open ($0.31) amid repeated momentum spikes.
Backdrop: The surge comes one week after Nasdaq issued a Delisting Determination for sub‑$1 bid price; the company said it intends to appeal. A hearing request (deadline Nov 3) would stay any suspension while the panel decides. ^[1]

What happened on November 5, 2025

MTC turned into one of the day’s biggest movers on U.S. markets, appearing on real‑time “top movers” dashboards and intraday gainers lists as volatility accelerated through the session. ^[2]
Trading continued today on Nasdaq. That’s notable because last week’s delisting notice said trading would be suspended at the open on Nov. 5 unless the company requested a hearing by Nov. 3. Under Nasdaq procedures, a timely hearing request stays the suspension pending a panel decision. (MMTec has not issued a follow‑up confirming it filed the request as of publication.) ^[3]

The backstory: why MTC faces delisting pressure

On Oct. 28, 2025, MMTec disclosed it received a Nasdaq Delisting Determination for failing to meet the $1.00 minimum bid for 30 straight business days. Because the company already executed a 1‑for‑8 reverse split on Dec. 18, 2024, it is not eligible for the usual 180‑day cure period. The release also said MMTec “currently intends to appeal.” ^[4]
Nasdaq’s repost of the same announcement reiterates that—absent an appeal—trading would be suspended at the open on Nov. 5 and a Form 25‑NSE would be filed with the SEC to remove the listing. ^[5]
How a stay works: Nasdaq’s Listing Center explains that requesting a hearing lets a company appeal a delisting determination and stays the suspension while the panel reviews the case. ^[6]

Today’s tape: how extreme was the move?

Range & momentum: Shares printed a $0.291–$1.64 range (more than 5× swing). From the open ($0.31) to the latest trade ($1.15), MTC rose about +271%; from the low, it’s up ~295%.
Liquidity: Volume cleared 274 million shares, far above normal turnover, consistent with high‑volatility micro‑cap episodes.
(All intraday stats from the live quote above at 19:48 UTC.)

Third‑party market monitors also flagged MTC among top intraday movers on Nov. 5, underscoring its visibility across retail trading screens. ^[7]

Why is this happening now?

No new company press release today: As of press time, we found no Nov. 5 company update beyond the Oct. 28 delisting notice. The price action looks technically driven—short‑term momentum and event‑risk positioning ahead of the delisting process—rather than a new fundamental disclosure. ^[8]
Event overhang: Markets are reacting to the binary path: either a stayed suspension while a Nasdaq hearing panel evaluates an appeal, or trading suspension & Form 25 if no stay applies. Rule references and the company’s prior statement about intending to appeal frame this setup. ^[9]

What to watch next

Did MMTec request the hearing on time?
If a request was filed by Nov. 3, trading remains listed pending a panel decision; if not, Nasdaq would suspend trading and proceed to a Form 25‑NSE. Look for a follow‑up 6‑K or press release confirming status. ^[10]
Any panel dates or compliance plan:
Companies sometimes propose additional corporate actions (e.g., restructurings) to regain bid‑price compliance; the Oct. 28 notice did not guarantee success. ^[11]
Trading halts & volatility controls:
Moves of this magnitude often trigger LULD (limit up/limit down) pauses; elevated halt risk can further amplify intraday swings. (General observation; monitor the live quote/halts tape.)

Key risks & reminders

Micro‑cap, event‑driven risk: MTC’s small float and delisting overhang can produce outsized moves in both directions.
Delisting consequences: If ultimately delisted, shares would migrate off‑exchange (e.g., OTC), reducing liquidity and potentially widening spreads; registration withdrawal typically follows ~90 days after a Form 25 filing. ^[12]
Information risk: In fast markets, aggregator dashboards can lag or conflict; rely on the live quote and company filings for definitive updates.

Quick recap of today’s coverage (Nov 5, 2025)

TRI Drops into Oversold Territory as RSI Hits 27.8
November 5, 2025, 9:26 PM EST. Thomson Reuters Corp (TRI) slipped into oversold territory as its RSI fell to 27.8, with a session low of $95.76. In contrast, the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) sits around an RSI of 37.9, highlighting relative weakness. A bullish observer might view TRI's RSI signal as evidence that recent selling is near exhaustion and could set up a potential entry point for buyers. The stock trades near the lower end of its 52-week range-near $92.22 vs. $123.60 highs-with a last trade near $95.84. Investors should weigh risk tolerance and catalysts before chasing any move, mindful of Buffett's caution to be greedy when others are fearful.
WSFS Financial Breaks Above 200-Day Moving Average, Shares Rally to $53.35
November 5, 2025, 9:24 PM EST. WSFS Financial Corp (WSFS) surged above its 200-day moving average of $53.19 on Friday, with shares trading as high as $53.35 and last at $53.28, up about 2.5% on the session. The break above the long-term indicator suggests near-term momentum for the regional bank, which trades within a 52-week range of $42.21 to $62.75. The chart shows one-year performance versus the moving average, highlighting the recovery path after recent volatility. Investors will watch whether the stock can sustain the break above the indicator and challenge resistance around the year highs.
Duolingo: High Growth and Premium Margins Face AI-Driven Sentiment Pressure and Limited Upside
November 5, 2025, 9:22 PM EST. Duolingo shows high growth and premium margins, driven by expanding user engagement and monetization. However, AI-driven narratives risk tempering investor sentiment and could cap upside if near-term profits miss expectations. The thesis highlights durable demand for language learning, pricing power in the freemium-to-premium funnel, and ongoing expansion of subscription offerings. Yet AI advancements may intensify competition and enable disruptive substitutes, testing margins and growth durability. The takeaway is a balanced view: solid fundamentals support a compelling growth story, but investors should watch AI-enabled product differentiation, ARPU trends, churn, and valuation sensitivity to AI headlines that could influence sentiment and future multiples.
Indexes Rise Off Key Levels; Robinhood Leads Earnings Movers
November 5, 2025, 9:18 PM EST. Stock futures were little changed after the close as the market attempted a rebound from Tuesday's sell-off.

In the after-hours session, Robinhood Markets (HOOD), AppLovin (APP), ARM Holdings (ARM), DoorDash (DASH) and Qualcomm (QCOM) headlined earnings news. The broader market rebounded Wednesday but finished well off intraday highs. Supreme Court doubts about Trump tariffs helped buoy sentiment, contributing to several earnings-driven big winners.
Figma tops revenue expectations as AI-focused Make drives growth; raises Q4 forecast
November 5, 2025, 9:14 PM EST. Figma topped quarterly expectations, reporting Q3 revenue of $274.2 million and adjusted EPS of 10 cents, while guiding Q4 revenue of $292-$294 million (about 35% growth).
