Stocks to Watch Wednesday, Oct. 28: Braiin, Enovix, Critical Metals, JetBlue, AudioEye

By Tech & Money Press · Pre-market watchlist for Wednesday, October 28, 2026

Market Setup

Stocks rose on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday’s Federal Reserve decision. SPY closed at $769.66 (+0.6%), QQQ gained 1.3% to $721.25 and the small-cap IWM rose 1.2% to $280.18. Earnings drove much of the action, with JetBlue up 19% and Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals up 22%. After the bell, Ultralife jumped about 145% on a $16-per-share cash buyout from EnerSys, Manhattan Associates and Ultra Clean rose about 10% on earnings, and Enphase fell 15%. SPY was near $769.99 and QQQ near $722.20 after hours. The Fed’s rate decision comes Wednesday afternoon, and markets widely expect a hold.

Wednesday’s list is built around Tuesday’s strongest closes. Braiin added a 56% after-hours run on top of a 56% regular-session gain, Enovix and Critical Metals closed near their highs on heavy volume, JetBlue rallied on better-than-expected unit revenue, and AudioEye broke out after record quarterly revenue. Here are the levels we are watching.

1. Braiin (BRAI) – Another 56% after hours with no new headline

Close: $3.31 (+56.1%) · Day range: $3.00–$4.16 · Volume: 51.8M (about 6x its 10-day average) · After hours: ~$5.17 (+56.2%), range $3.29–$5.20

Braiin launched Force AI, an orchestration layer for its RADIUS contact center platform, on Monday. The stock spiked to $5.05 that day, collapsed to $2.12, and then rebounded 56% on Tuesday. After the close it ran another 56% to about $5.17 on roughly 4.2 million shares. We did not find a new company announcement behind the after-hours move.

Our Take: BRAI is back near Monday’s spike high, so this is a day-three momentum name with very wide swings. $5.20 (after-hours high) is the first resistance, then $5.65 (late-September highs). On the downside, $4.16 (Tuesday’s high) is the first support, then $3.55 (Oct. 23 close). An after-hours run without a headline can fade quickly at the open, so watch whether it holds above $4.16 in pre-market.

2. Enovix (ENVX) – Highest close since late August

Close: $3.35 (+25.0%) · Day range: $2.70–$3.38 · Volume: 19.7M (about 1.7x its 10-day average) · After hours: ~$3.36 (+0.3%), range $3.31–$3.38

Enovix closed just under its high of the day, its best close since late August. There was no new company announcement on Tuesday. Earlier this month the battery maker reported preliminary third-quarter revenue of $11.0 million, up 38%, with drone and defense customers making up about 70% of sales, and announced a 100,000-unit battery order from a drone maker. After the bell, EnerSys agreed to buy defense battery maker Ultralife at a 166% premium, which could keep attention on the group.

Our Take: A close at the high with steady after-hours trading is a constructive setup. $3.38 (Tuesday’s high) is the first resistance, then $3.55 (September high). On the downside, $2.97 (Oct. 23 high, the breakout level) is the first support, then $2.70 (Tuesday’s low). With a market cap near $735 million, ENVX trades with tighter spreads than most names on this list.

3. Critical Metals (CRML) – Breakout as the European Lithium deal nears

Close: $8.13 (+27.4%) · Day range: $6.57–$8.29 · Volume: 20.3M (about 3.6x its 10-day average) · After hours: ~$7.82 (−3.8%), range $7.70–$8.35

Critical Metals, which is developing the Tanbreez rare earth project in Greenland, broke out of a two-week range near $6. There was no new company headline on Tuesday. On Monday, the Supreme Court of Western Australia approved its acquisition of European Lithium. The record date is Oct. 29, and the new Critical Metals shares issued for the deal are expected to start trading on Nasdaq on Nov. 6.

Our Take: CRML closed near the high but gave back about 4% after hours. $8.35 (after-hours high) is the first resistance, then $8.49 (Sept. 24 high). On the downside, $7.70 (after-hours low) is the first support, then $7.30 (Oct. 16 high). Keep in mind the deal is paid in new shares, which will add to the share count next week.

4. JetBlue Airways (JBLU) – Unit revenue beat sparks a 19% rally

Close: $2.82 (+19.0%) · Day range: $2.54–$2.97 · Volume: 70.6M (about 1.7x its 10-day average) · After hours: ~$2.82 (0.0%), range $2.80–$2.84

JetBlue posted a third-quarter adjusted loss of $0.60 per share, wider than the $0.54 estimate, on revenue of $2.81 billion, up 21%. Investors focused on the details: unit revenue rose 18.4%, about four points better than guidance, and the airline recovered 87% of higher fuel costs. Management expects margins to improve again in the fourth quarter and reported $2.2 billion in liquidity. Last week the stock hit record lows after reports that creditors had hired advisors.

Our Take: JBLU pulled back from $2.97 to close at $2.82, and it was flat after hours. $2.97 (Tuesday’s high) is the first resistance, then $3.14 (Oct. 20 high). On the downside, $2.65 (Oct. 22 close) is the first support, then $2.54 (Tuesday’s low). Short interest has been high, which can add fuel to a squeeze, and the stock is sensitive to oil prices and the Fed decision.

5. AudioEye (AEYE) – Record quarter lifts the stock to a multi-month high

Close: $10.14 (+36.7%) · Day range: $8.10–$10.48 · Volume: 2.0M (about 16x its 10-day average) · After hours: ~$10.25 (+1.1%), range $9.90–$10.28

AudioEye reported record third-quarter revenue of $11 million and annual recurring revenue of $43.3 million, up 12%. Adjusted EBITDA rose 58% to $3.9 million, and the company raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA growth outlook to about 50%. It also guided full-year adjusted EPS above $1.04, compared with the $0.98 estimate, and has a $15 million buyback in place.

Our Take: AEYE closed above $10 for the first time in months and held after hours. $10.48 (Tuesday’s high) is the first resistance, then $11.00 (round number). On the downside, $9.90 (after-hours low) is the first support, then $8.30 (Oct. 20 high). Volume is still light in absolute terms, so expect wider spreads in pre-market.

Bottom Line

Wednesday’s list leans on Tuesday’s strong closes. Enovix, Critical Metals and AudioEye finished at or near their highs, JetBlue has a fresh earnings catalyst, and Braiin is the high-risk wild card after a big after-hours run without news. The Fed decision Wednesday afternoon could move the whole market, so pre-market levels may matter most before 2 p.m. ET.
