Wide spreadLooks active, but participation is fading.
The problem
Traditional gainers can make thin stocks look urgent.
Small-cap traders often see a big percentage move and assume the ticker is in play. But a fast move can be built on irregular prints, low dollar volume, wide spreads, or participation that disappears when it matters.
That creates the trades traders remember for the wrong reasons: bad fills, slippage, poor exits, and reactive decisions made while scanning too many names at once.

A percentage move is not the same as a tradeable move.
