Biodexa Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:BDRX) stock is rocketing higher on Tuesday alongside heavy pre-market trading of the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company’s shares.
This has more than 15.8 million shares of BDRX stock changing hands as of this writing. That’s well above the company’s daily average trading volume of about 3 million shares.
Investors will note that the float for BDRX stock is sitting at 842.62 million shares. It’s also worth mentioning that the short interest of this float is sitting at 46.89%.
Another thing for traders to keep in mind is the penny stock status of Biodexa Pharmaceuticals. That comes from its prior closing price of $1.27 and a market capitalization of only about $5.569 million.
What This Means for BDRX Stock
With taking into account these factors, it’s possible that traders are enacting a short squeeze of BDRX shares today. Adding to that is the latest news from the company that would kick off such heavy trading.
This means that BDRX stock may be volatile in the days to come. While the company’s shares are up now, they might give up much of those gains soon. Keep that in mind when considering an investment in Biodexa Pharmaceuticals.
BDRX stock is up 78% as of Tuesday morning.
