That rally saw shares of QLGN stock soar more than 59% higher during normal trading hours. This came alongside 244 million shares of the stock changing hands. That’s a massive increase over its daily average trading volume of about 5.4 million shares. Investors will note that the float for Qualigen Therapeutics is 9.59 million units.
QLGN stock isn’t seeing nearly as much movement on Monday morning. Only about 1.4 million shares of the stock have been traded as of this writing. With that comes a 12% drop for Qualigen Therapeutics’ shares this morning.
What’s Behind Friday’s Rally
There was no news from Qualigen Therapeutics that would cause its shares to take off like they did on Friday. That includes a lack of press releases or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It also doesn’t appear that analyst coverage was behind the surge.
However, traders will keep in mind that QLGN is a penny stock. That means it’s subject to volatility. This can happen with speculative traders buying shares or retail and day traders pumping the stock. No matter the case, investors will want to be careful about taking a stake in QLGN right now.

On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks: €¯With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That's because these "penny stocks" are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that €¯InvestorPlace.com's writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risks.
