BIAF Plunges 22% Intraday: What's Behind the Sharp Selloff?

Summary
• bioAffinity (BIAF) trades at $0.2731, down 22.06% from its $0.3504 previous close
• Intraday range spans $0.25 to $0.3081, reflecting volatile trading
• 2025 Q2 earnings report and $1.2M private placement announcement dominate headlines

BioAffinity Technologies (BIAF) has plunged 22.06% intraday amid a confluence of earnings underperformance and capital-raising activity. The stock’s sharp decline follows the release of its Q2 2025 results, which showed a $9M net loss, and a $1.2M private placement that diluted existing shareholders. With the stock trading near its 52-week low of $0.1639, investors are scrutinizing the company’s financial health and strategic direction.

Q2 Earnings and Private Placement Trigger Investor Flight
The 22.06% intraday drop in BIAF is directly tied to its Q2 2025 earnings report, which revealed a $9M net loss and a $1.1M cash balance as of December 31, 2024. The company’s decision to raise $1.2M via a private placement in August 2025 further exacerbated investor concerns, as it signals financial strain and potential dilution of existing equity. Additionally, the projected 2025 revenue of $6–8M—a decline from 2024’s $9.4M—highlights strategic shifts away from unprofitable pathology services, which have raised questions about the sustainability of its core CyPath® Lung diagnostic business.

Navigating BIAF’s Volatility: ETFs and Technicals in Focus
• MACD: 0.00088 (bullish divergence), Signal Line: -0.00936 (bearish), Histogram: 0.01024 (positive momentum)
• RSI: 83.87 (overbought territory), Bollinger Bands: Price near lower band ($0.25), 200D MA: $0.5064 (far above current price)

BIAF’s technicals suggest a short-term bearish bias despite a long-term ranging pattern. The RSI at 83.87 indicates overbought conditions, while the MACD histogram’s positive momentum may not sustain the downward trend. Key support levels at $0.247–$0.25 (30D support) and $0.281–$0.301 (200D support) are critical for near-term direction. With no options listed, traders should focus on ETFs like the iShares Biotechnology ETF (IBB) for sector exposure. A cash-secured put strategy near $0.25 could capitalize on further declines, while a short-term call option (if available) might benefit from a rebound above $0.3081.

Backtest bioAffinity Stock Performance
Below is an interactive module that summarizes the strategy and presents the full back-test result.Notes & interpretation • The test window is 2022-01-01 → 2025-09-16, price type Close. • Total return −91.45 %; max drawdown −93.46 %. In short, buying rebounds after a 22 % intraday plunge in BIAF has performed very poorly during this period. • Annualized return shows as +51 %, but that is a statistical artefact of a single extreme loss; risk-adjusted Sharpe ≈0.23 is weak. • No trades ended in profit; the average and minimum trade return both match the large loss.

BIAF at Crossroads: Strategic Shifts and Liquidity Pressures
BIAF’s 22% intraday plunge underscores the fragility of its financial position and the market’s skepticism toward its strategic pivot. While the company’s CyPath® Lung diagnostic shows promise, the $9M net loss and $1.1M cash balance highlight urgent liquidity needs. Investors should monitor the $0.25 support level and the biotech sector leader Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO), which gained 1.4% today. A breakdown below $0.25 could trigger further selling, while a rebound above $0.3081 might attract short-term buyers. For now, caution is warranted as the company navigates its 2025 FDA pivotal trial and operational restructuring.
