February was an amazing month for the blind shorts, with next to no outlier losses and hundreds and hundreds of winning trades. There was one extreme outlier, PLYX, that we’ll look closer at below.
Don’t forget to look at the outlier moves in October 2025 (23), November 2025 (5), December 2025 (6), and January 2026 (10).
February 2: ROMA (Hong Kong) … note lucky number $8.88 high … the scammers know that they can act with impunity under the current US administration, so they have some fun manipulating to precise prices.
February 3: NPT (China)
February 11: NCI (Hong Kong)
February 13: RIME (USA)
February 17: OLB (USA), OBAI (USA), PLYX (USA)
PLYX hit a pre-market high of $66 after “dinging” at $3 or $4. The ~1,500% move took ten seconds. This was a disaster for anyone whose bot employs aggressive chase logic to exit in the pre-market.
Below is the one second price chart for PLYX. Unfortunately I was at the screens when this happened and saw it squeeze in real time, which was not good for my pulmonary pig valve. PLYX closed the day at $4.02.
February 26: AEHL (China)
