Ontrak (NASDAQ:OTRK) stock is falling on Thursday, but that’s not actually due to any negative news from the healthcare company.

Instead, today’s dip is simply shares giving up some of the ground they recently gained. OTRK stock went through a massive rally on Wednesday that resulted in shares climbing about 95% higher.

That makes the drop the company is seeing today reasonable. It’s typical for a company’s shares to retreat after a major rally, with some investors choosing to sell the stock while it’s worth more. Others will maintain their positions, which explains why OTRK stock is only falling as far as it is today.

What Was Behind the OTRK Stock Rally Yesterday?

Ontrak saw its surge in price yesterday after posting data from its adoption of PHQ-9 and GAD-7. These are measures for depression and anxiety. The company said it saw a positive influence after integrating these measures for its Wholehealth+ program.

That also brought with it heavy trading of shares on Wednesday. When the day closed, some 182 million shares had changed hands. That’s a massive surge over the daily average trading volume of about 3.3 million shares.

OTRK stock is down 14.3% as of Thursday morning but is up 211.7% since the start of the year.
