Daily Trading Recap - 2/19/26
Momentum Flip on KNRX, Chop on CRWV
TLDR
Slow open, waited for setups.
KNRX: long into momentum, then flipped short and caught the wash.
CRWV morning breakout failed
Trades I Took
KNRX 0.00%↑
KNRX hit the scanners mid-morning. Daily had all-time highs at $4, so if volume held, that level could act like a magnet. I got long with momentum and sold some into strength, but that push ended up being the top.
I tried reloading long a couple times and got stopped. Once it broke $2.65 and couldn’t hold, I flipped short. I added into confirmation and covered 1/2 into the $2.28 flush. Added back on the next bounce and caught another leg down into shallow targets. Late-day short near VWAP didn’t work.
Big takeaway: good job adapting mid trade and noticing when to flip bias.
CRWV 0.00%↑
CRWV looked like a breakout candidate if the market stayed strong. I bought the open range break with wider risk. It stalled, I added after a small consolidation with tighter risk, and got stopped.
Classic CRWV action. It perked up into the close but I left it alone.
Breakouts need expansion. If it’s not pushing, it’s probably not it.

Takeaways
Another slow day, which is fine. I’m working on another project that’s taking up a lot of my attention so happy to have a slower market period.
Best trade was flipping with KNRX instead of staying stubborn. Nice job recognizing failed momentum and pressing the clean side faster.
