Salarius Pharmaceuticals Inc's stock price has dropped by 20.23% in pre-market trading, crossing below the 5-day SMA. This decline occurs despite the broader market's positive performance, with the Nasdaq-100 up 0.67% and the S&P 500 up 0.26%.

The drop in Salarius Pharmaceuticals' stock is attributed to sector rotation, as investors are shifting their focus towards other sectors, particularly in light of recent developments in the biopharmaceutical industry. Notably, GH Research PLC shares surged 18.1% on an FDA IND status update announcement, which has drawn investor attention away from Salarius Pharmaceuticals.

This movement suggests that while the overall market is experiencing gains, Salarius Pharmaceuticals is facing challenges that may require strategic adjustments. Investors will be closely monitoring the company's next steps and any potential catalysts that could influence its stock performance.
