⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION
Storytel likely to gap up on open if Swedish market hasn't fully reacted. However, elevated VIX and broader market caution suggest limited follow-through. Consider entry on any pullback rather than chasing the gap; board involvement is positive but execution risk remains. [MOVE:3.5%]
