Who they are

SMX (Security Matters) Public Limited Company offers cutting-edge technological solutions for brand safeguarding, product verification, and supply chain transparency, primarily serving the global anti-counterfeiting industry. At the heart of its offerings is a unique marking system that can embed either permanent or removable identifiers directly onto materials or items, regardless of whether they are solid, liquid, or gaseous. The company's complete solution integrates these physical or chemical markers with a specialized reader, all connected to a secure blockchain-powered digital platform.

How they make money

SMX operates a business-to-business model providing brand protection, supply chain integrity, and circular economy solutions.

Momentum & Volatility Signals

Two different market-behavior signals. Momentum measures direction and trend strength. Volatility measures how large and unstable the price moves are, regardless of direction.

Strong downward momentum

Extreme movement

20D realized vol 231.8% · 60D 199.0% · Acceleration 1.16x
Momentum = Where is it going?

A high momentum score means price has been trending upward with confirming short- and medium-term strength. A low score means downward or weakening momentum.

Volatility = How violently is it moving?

A high volatility score means larger, less stable price swings. It can happen while a stock is rising or falling, so high volatility is not automatically bullish or bearish.

Important: the volatility score above is based on realized price volatility. Implied volatility (IV) comes from options prices and represents the market's expected future movement. Wall Street Score will keep IV separate and will only display it when a verified options-chain feed is available.
