CleanSpark Inc stock rose 6.81% to $12.46 on Wednesday, driven by moderately bullish activity in the Tradr 2X Long CLSK Daily ETF. The stock opened with a 5.1% gap up from the previous close and reached an intraday high of $12.75 before consolidating near $12.47. The session saw 19.3 million shares traded, which is 0.9 times the 3-month daily average.

What Happened

The Fly reported moderately bullish activity in the Tradr 2X Long CLSK Daily ETF, with shares up 5.87%. This leveraged product likely amplified the move in CleanSpark's stock as traders positioned for a potential rebound. The stock’s upward movement came after a recent decline of 4.4% over the last eight sessions. Cantor Fitzgerald recently reiterated an Overweight rating on CleanSpark and maintained a $26 price target. The firm’s bullish stance may have influenced short-term positioning.

CleanSpark recently signed a $6.6 billion AI data center lease and reported a Q3 loss, but the lease deal has drawn attention to the company’s long-term growth potential. The stock is currently trading within its 52-week range of $8.00 to $23.61, having printed five fresh 52-week highs and four fresh 52-week lows on August 20.

What The Data Shows

The stock opened at $12.26 and traded as low as $12.00 before recovering. Unusual options activity included a notable $1.8 million call premium, with no put activity. The company has a market cap of $3.0 billion but remains unprofitable, with an EPS of -3.74 and a net margin of -146.9%. Revenue has grown 7.5% in the trailing twelve months. Insider activity included a recent $622 sale by Monnig Taylor, the CTO and COO, on August 14.
