And, Deloitte says in their Finance 2025 report, “The technologies needed to reimagine fi-nan-ce are here and they will only get better…” (2)
There hasn’t been a global shift like this on the horizon since the railroad, or the internet.
Even if you owned every single share of Amazon, which completely revolutionized the entire retail space, that would be worth somewhere around $1.6Tn. (3)
While that is definitely not pocket change, it’s still less than the $2.5Tn market this new tech could revolutionize.

As I mentioned above, this profile has several potential catalysts that could fuel a vertical chart move in the near term. Here's what you need to know:
#1. APCX Potential Catalyst - Low Float Profile/Possible Volatility
According to the Yahoo Finance website, APCX has a low float.
The website reports this profile to have approximately 10.37Mn shares in its float.
Why is that important? It's important on one crucial level. Volatility.
With so few shares available for trading, other potential catalysts (like big news) could spark a vertical move in the short-term.

#4. APCX Potential Catalyst - Oversold Leaning Technicals Provide Reversal/Bounce Potential
Going into Tuesday's opening bell, Barchart was reporting this profile to have several oversold leaning technicals.
These technicals could be signaling a healthy reversal in the near term.
Here's the definition of a "reversal" from Investopedia:
"A reversal is a change in the price direction of an asset. A reversal can occur to the upside or downside. Following an uptrend, a reversal would be to the downside. Following a downtrend, a reversal would be to the upside. Reversals are based on overall price direction and are not typically based on one or two periods/bars on a chart."
Now, here are some key technicals (going into Tuesday's opening bell) that could signal APCX to be leaning oversold and on the verge of a potential reversal.
- 9-Day Relative Strength Index: 27.42%
- 14-Day Relative Strength Index: 32.26%
When these numbers drop down to the 30% range and lower, they can be viewed as being in oversold territory. While in this territory, they can paint the picture of a profile that is undervalued.
- 14-Day Raw Stochastic: 12.64%
- 14-Day Williams %R: 87.36%
As the Raw Stochastic nears the 10% range and lower and the Williams %R nears the 90% range or higher, these technical indicators may also be viewed as oversold and undervalued.
Keep an eye on these technicals closely.
