1. Shares Surge on Heavy Volume
In the latest session, Cloudflare saw its shares climb by 9.2%, driven by trading volume that exceeded the 30-day daily average by approximately 25%. This surge marked one of the largest single-day percentage gains for the year, reflecting renewed investor appetite following a brief pullback earlier in the month.
2. Power Inflow Signal Highlights Institutional Demand
On January 26 at 10:11 AM Eastern, Cloudflare triggered a Power Inflow alert—an order-flow indicator that tracks institutional and retail buy orders—which followed a more than 2% decline in the hour preceding the signal. Traders monitoring this metric view it as a sign of significant buying interest from larger market participants.
