With Get Started with Finviz for Free Today, you can dive into real-time quotes, advanced charts, and an intuitive screener that highlights the hottest stocks trading before regular hours.

Understanding Pre Market Movers

Pre market movers are stocks that exhibit significant price changes or volume spikes before the official trading session begins (typically between 4:00 AM and 9:30 AM ET). Monitoring these early activity patterns helps you:

  • Identify high-potential setups based on news, earnings, or technical triggers
  • React to overnight announcements and global market shifts
  • Position yourself ahead of the crowd once the market opens

Why Tracking Pre Market Activity Matters

When you spot unusual volume or sharp price jumps in the pre market, you can:

  1. Verify catalyst-driven moves (earnings surprises, M&A rumors, analyst upgrades)
  2. Validate support and resistance levels using extended-hours charts
  3. Plan entry and exit strategies with greater confidence
