ASTS +4.01% — Breaking
By SNF Research · Independent market intelligence from Sunday Night Futures LLC
ASTS and RIOT both ripping in after-hours while broader tape fades.
ASTS is trading $71.63, up 4.01% from $68.76 close, extending a move against a soft tape — DIA sitting at $537.28, down 0.29%, AAPL dragging at $304.91, off 1.04%. RIOT at $20.24, up 4.84% from $19.40, adds a crypto-equity bid to the session. Small caps holding (IWM $300.99, +0.34%), suggesting risk appetite is selective, not broad.
Watch: ASTS $71.63 as ceiling — a hold above sets up continuation into Wednesday open. RIOT needs to clear and hold $20.50 to confirm follow-through; failure fades back toward $19.40 fill.
