Profusa Inc's stock fell by 22.21% during regular trading, crossing below its 5-day SMA. This decline occurs despite the Nasdaq-100 rising by 0.29% and the S&P 500 gaining 0.45%, indicating a potential sector rotation.
The drop in Profusa Inc's stock price can be attributed to sector rotation, as investors appear to be shifting their focus away from biotech stocks towards other sectors that are currently performing better in the market.

Investors may need to reassess their positions in Profusa Inc, especially in light of the current market dynamics. The company's recent performance highlights the volatility within the biotech sector and the importance of monitoring market trends closely.
