Momentum Watch | (SMX) Takes Lead On My Watchlist With Approx. 41% Move Dear Reader, We have SMX (NASDAQ: SMX) on our "momentum watchlist" this morning. (SMX) already tapped $23.10, marking an approximate 41% move off of Friday's $16.35 close. Some mornings, a company like (SMX) doesn't just show up on our screen — it takes over the top spot.
SMX (NASDAQ: SMX) is doing exactly that to open 2026, sitting at the top of our watchlist this morning — Friday, January 2, 2026 — as the first profile we're putting in front of Street Ideas readers this year. And it's not there by chance. After a recent reverse split left the company with fewer than 35K shares in its public float, SMX (NASDAQ: SMX) is shaping up as the kind of tight-supply setup that can react quickly if attention starts to change. From $3.12 on November 19 to $490 on December 5, (SMX) made an approximate 15,000% move in under a month, according to Barchart data. 
Now here's why it needs to stay at the top of the radar heading into this first stretch of 2026: Recent technical readings suggest (NASDAQ: SMX) may be approaching what some would consider "oversold territory."
- 9-Day RSI: 30.70
- 14-Day RSI: 38.24
- 20-Day RSI: 41.22
- 50-Day RSI: 37.91
- 100-Day RSI: 33.02
- Stochastics (14,3): 4.03
When RSI readings compress toward the low 30s — and stochastics drop into single digits — it often signals a company is getting stretched to the downside, even if the broader story hasn't changed. And the key point is this: while the chart has cooled off, the story hasn't. As December 2025 drew to a close, SMX (NASDAQ: SMX) maintained an unusually aggressive stream of announcements — and taken together, they began to reveal the broader scope of what the company is building. This isn't being presented as a single-industry story. From rubber and latex to luxury fashion, from precious metals to federal can-na-bis, SMX is positioning its molecular identity platform around one core idea: verification is no longer optional — it's becoming infrastructure.
And what began as a technology seeking validation is now being framed as something more powerful:a system built to become the validation itself. Fashion and Luxury: Where Trust Became Obsolete
The most recent developments show (NASDAQ: SMX) expanding into industrial rubber traceability for the global latex and rubber gloves market, advancing its circular materials platform into yet another essential industry. But it's the fashion announcements that reveal how verification is reshaping entire business models. On December 30, (NASDAQ: SMX) announced expansion into denim and recycled-denim, enabling fashion brands to address excess inventory, overproduction, and verified recycled-content requirements. The company's messaging became pointed: luxury brands from denim to couture can't afford "trust me" anymore. As one release stated, "the new scarcity in luxury isn't a product, it's proof."
This builds on (NASDAQ: SMX)'s December 11 cotton traceability breakthrough, where the company proved ability to verify origin and recycled content from mechanical recycling through yarn spinning and finished fabric. The announcement sparked a series of releases declaring that SMX just gave cotton its first circularity engine and that cotton just became a digital asset. Regulation as Value Driver: The Compliance Inflection
Throughout late December, (NASDAQ: SMX)consistently reinforced a central thesis: regulation is making (SMX) more relevant and is also its biggest value driver. While competitors resist compliance mandates, SMX is benefiting from regulation while others are still arguing with it. The company positioned itself as turning verification into a platform player, with the core message that "integrity has to be engineered, SMX offers the blueprint." This isn't theoretical positioning—SMX emphasized the difference between talking about scale and operating inside it. Precious Metals: Silver and Gold Verification Infrastructure
Source found here. Perhaps no sector better demonstrates (NASDAQ: SMX)'s positioning than precious metals. A series of December releases focused on silver, with headlines declaring that silver is forcing the question SMX already answers and that silver is proving that verification is a requirement. The company stated its platform creates a world where silver gets audited, not explained. For gold, (NASDAQ: SMX) announced a joint initiative with FinGo & Bougainville Refinery Ltd to deliver verifiable identification for the $30T gold market. The mission to provide gold verified identity advanced with two new industry alliances, with (SMX) and partners pushing gold compliance out of the back office and into the supply chain. The narrative became stark: gold reserves are about to face the first real audit in history, and it will lack what's most needed: PROOF. (NASDAQ: SMX) positioned itself as writing the blueprint as gold's trust model gets rebuilt around infrastructure rather than assumptions. Can-nab-is: Federal-Grade Systems for Federal Legalization
As can-nab-is legalization advances, (NASDAQ: SMX) announced its molecular identity solution for the sector. The company traces can-nab-is from seed to dispensary with patented molecular identity, bringing identity to can-nab-is and rPET under FDA-compliant frameworks. The messaging was unambiguous: federal can-nab-is requires federal-grade systems, why (NASDAQ: SMX) is already aligned. As one release declared, "federal can-nab-is is about to get receipts, SMX prints them at the molecular level." The company noted that can-nab-is is running into the same wall plastics already hit, (NASDAQ: SMX) breaks through it. Industrial Validation: NAFRA and Recycling Infrastructure (NASDAQ: SMX) presented technology for BFR sorting solution for North American Flame Retardant Alliance (NAFRA) and American Chemistry Council (ACC), marking a signal to recyclers that industrial traceability is finally arriving. The company emphasized it moves past proof and into the NAFRA room where implementation begins, noting that industry validation becomes industry visibility. This follows SMX's positioning around how sectors actually adopt technology—from demonstration to integration. The Platform Recognition: December's Multi-Sector Validation
Early December marked what (NASDAQ: SMX) called "the multi-sector validation shock"—the moment when markets finally recognized (SMX) sits in all three: gold, rare earth minerals, and digital assets. As one release explained, (NASDAQ: SMX) didn't change its story; the world finally connected the dots. The company positioned this as when proof becomes infrastructure, markets rewrite the story, emphasizing that (NASDAQ: SMX)'s adoption in one industry accelerates interest in all the others. The platform narrative culminated in releases declaring that SMX is becoming the Google of materials and that (NASDAQ: SMX)'s PCT is creating a new asset class. The Plastic Cycle Token framework was positioned as transforming physical materials into a monetization engine. Partnership Architecture: Global Deployment Confirmed
(NASDAQ: SMX) detailed collaborations spanning continents, with A*STAR, Tradepro, REDWAVE powering a verified circular economy and CETI and CARTIF driving the global identity layer. The company emphasized partnerships expand value faster than cost base, with each partnership opening a market while the portfolio multiplies the value. Infrastructure Phase Accelerating
December's announcement wave revealed (NASDAQ: SMX) transitioning from single deployments to supply-chain infrastructure. The company articulated this as being valued by monetizing certainty, not sustainability narratives and earning validation through industrial proof, not promises. (NASDAQ: SMX)'s platform thesis is clear: SMX's integrated value proposition delivers one system, many markets, compounding leverage. Heading into 2026, the company has established verification infrastructure across fashion, precious metals, can-nab-is, plastics, and industrial materials—with the same molecular identity technology serving all. The execution phase has arrived. 7 Key Drivers Behind SMX (NASDAQ: SMX) Topping Our Watchlist This Morning—Friday, January 2, 2026 1. Funding Runway: With a facility expanded to up to $116.5M, (SMX) says it has added support for scaling without typical pressure scenarios.
2. Razor-Thin Float: After a reverse split left under 35K shares available to the public, (SMX)'s razor-thin float could witness the potential for sharp moves if demand begins to shift. 3. Recent Momentum: The move from $3.12 to $490 in under a month — about 15,000% — shows (SMX) has the potential for significant swings. 4. Oversold Signals: With 9-Day RSI around 30.70 and Stochastics around 4.03, (SMX) is flashing conditions often linked to "oversold territory", which could set the stage for a potential trend reversal. 5.

Partnership Network: Through multiple collaborations, (SMX) describes a network where each rollout can unlock additional markets using the same core system 7. Platform Expansion: Spanning rubber, fashion, metals, and can-na-bis, (SMX) positions its verification system across markets — including the $30T gold initiative. Put (NASDAQ: SMX) On Your Screen While It's Still Early…
Taken together, these seven factors help explain why (SMX) has earned a spot on our immediate radar. An ultra-small float following the reverse split creates a structure where supply can tighten quickly, and the company has already demonstrated how sharply it can move, with a prior move from $3.12 to $490 in under a month. Add in technical readings that some associate with oversold territory, and you have a setup that may be approaching an inflection point. But this isn't just a chart story. (SMX) has been positioning its molecular verification platform across multiple sectors — from rubber and fashion to metals and can-na-bis — including initiatives tied to the $30T gold market. With regulation increasingly pushing verification into the center of supply chains, a growing partnership network, and a capital facility expanded to up to $116.5M, the company has outlined multiple pathways it believes can support scaling. (SMX) has earned the top spot on our watchlist this morning. Put it on your screen while it's still early. And stay ready, my next next update could be hitting at any moment. Sincerely, Paul Prescott
