Cipher Mining Plummets 5.67% as Trading Volume Surges to $1.35B Jumps to 85th Most Active

Cipher Mining (CIFR) saw a 5.67% decline on October 10, 2025, as its trading volume surged to $1.35 billion, marking a 51.53% increase from the previous day. This elevated volume placed the stock at rank 85 in terms of trading activity across the market. The sharp drop in price came amid mixed signals from recent developments, though specific catalysts remain under scrutiny.

Analysts noted that the stock's performance was influenced by sector-specific dynamics, with broader market sentiment toward mining equities appearing fragile. While no direct operational updates from Cipher were disclosed, the stock's volatility highlighted its sensitivity to macroeconomic factors and commodity price fluctuations. Investors closely monitored the firm's capital allocation strategies, though no concrete announcements were made during the reporting period.

For the back-test request, confirmation is required on key parameters: the stock universe (e.g., all U.S. equities or S&P 500), timing for ranking and execution (same-day open vs. prior close), weighting methodology (equal vs. volume-based), and assumptions for transaction costs. Once these details are finalized, the test can proceed with daily re-balancing over a one-trading-day holding period.
