The broad market ticked higher on Thursday, with the S&P 500 eking out a quarter-point gain. But the real story was buried in the small-cap wreckage and the occasional short squeeze — a day where the tape felt more about repricing extremes than building momentum.

BOXL, RMCF, and OFAL led a parade of micro-cap gainers, some up 50–170%, signaling the kind of thin-liquidity reversals you see when shorts cover or retail piles in. On the flip side, PLAG, SLXN, and GLND cratered, each losing 30–80%, which speaks to the volatility at the small end. The S&P's modest climb suggests the large-cap core remained stable while the periphery threw a fit.
