SMX (Security Matters) PLC shares fell by 24.61% as the stock crossed below its 5-day SMA, reflecting a challenging trading environment.
This decline is attributed to sector rotation, as the stock's extreme volatility follows a recent 1-for-8 reverse stock split that significantly reduced the number of shares available for trading. The stock had previously surged over 1,000%, but profit-taking has led to a steep decline, despite broader market strength with the S&P 500 up 0.05%.
The implications of this price movement indicate a cautious outlook for SMX, as the stock's performance remains highly volatile, and investors may need to reassess their positions in light of the recent fluctuations.
