PRISM Mid-Day Movers: Pharmaceuticals and Crypto Mining are Today’s Leaders.

April 30, 2026 - by Editor Prism MarketView

Hepion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC: HEPA) is catching a speculative bid again, with shares up 31.24% at $0.071 after opening at $0.054, tagging a day high of $0.071 against a day low of $0.054. The move comes on extremely light absolute liquidity—only 1 share currently showing as traded versus an average daily volume of 16,883—so even tiny prints are swinging the tape, but the stock is now back near the top of its recent range and well above its $0.033 52‑week low, as traders continue to toy with this sub‑$1 million market‑cap OTC name following its pivot toward early cancer‑detection diagnostics.

Abits Group Inc. (NASDAQ: ABTS) is ripping higher midday, with shares at $1.3965, up 25.81% on the session as they trade between a day low of $1.21 and day high of $1.52. The move comes on 18.7 million shares changing hands versus an average volume of about 769,945, signaling a full‑blown momentum move in this tiny roughly $3.31 million market‑cap bitcoin‑mining and data‑center play that is still deep in the penalty box—well below its $10.855 52‑week high and sliding 50‑ and 200‑day moving averages—even as high volatility and crypto‑linked headlines draw in short‑term traders.
