The day before and pre-market

On August 5, BYAH traded between $2.61 and $2.72 on 26,541 shares. The official close was $2.64.

The first trades on the 6th came at 9:00 a.m. and were at $2.13, well below that close. By the end of the same minute it was $2.60.

The pre-market high was $2.81 at 9:26 a.m. Only 4,570 shares traded before the bell. The float is 1.82 million, so almost nothing had happened yet.

The open and the 10:14 headline

It opened at $2.78, up 5% from the previous close. The low since the open was $2.58 at 9:40.

At 10:14 a.m. Newsfile Corp ran: “Did You Lose Money Investing in Park Ha Biological Technology Co., Ltd.? Robbins LLP Urges Investors to Contact the Firm for Information About Their Rights Against BYAH”. It is a notice from a law firm. The stock was at $2.86 at the end of that minute. The next minute traded 4,365 shares and closed at $2.75.

From the open until 11:30 a.m. it stayed between $2.58 and $3.25. Most minutes traded a few dozen or a few hundred shares. It moved from $2.90 to $3.20 between 11:06 and 11:08, and that was the busiest stretch of the morning.

11:31: a spike and a flush

At 11:31 volume picked up. By 11:33 a.m. it hit $3.96, up 42% from the $2.78 open. The 11:34 minute traded 61,564 shares and ran from $3.84 down to $3.20.

Then it fell to $2.71 at 11:40 a.m., down 32% from $3.96. The whole move took seven minutes.

The wall at $5.19

From $2.96 at 11:53 a.m. the stock worked higher, and at 12:12 p.m. it turned fast. The 12:13 and 12:14 minutes traded 58,976 and 121,281 shares. At 12:14:28 one sell order went through 19 price levels, from $4.02 to $3.66. Even so, the stock was at $4.45 by the end of 12:14.

At 12:15:50 an ask wall appeared at $5.19. It reached 48,000 shares at 12:15:51, 2.6% of the float, all in one second.

Here's what happened. The wall wasn't eaten. It was pulled at 12:17:12. At 12:17 p.m. the stock traded through $5.00 for the first time, and at 12:17:53 an 11,994-share buy order swept $5.00 to $5.02. The 12:18 minute reached $5.27, up 78% from $2.96 at 11:53. That same minute ranged down to $4.39 and closed at $4.40.

By 12:23 p.m., more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (1.82 million).

The top at $6.64 and a lower high

From $4.35 at 12:19 p.m. it ran to $6.58 at 12:24 p.m., up 51%. At 12:24:15 one buy order took 12,097 shares through 38 price levels, from $6.09 to $6.48. At 12:25:26 one sell order took 16,016 shares from $6.27 to $6.15.

The high so far was $6.64 at 12:27 p.m. The next minute dipped to $5.86.

It fell to $5.16 at 12:33 p.m., down 22% from $6.64. Then it came back once more. At 12:35 p.m. it pushed to $5.89, a lower high under the $6.64 top.

The bid at $4.01

The stock kept sliding after the lower high. It was $4.11 at 1:01 p.m. The book showed that from 12:51 p.m. on, someone was bidding for a lot of stock at exactly $4.01.

The bid peaked at 25,448 shares at 1:01:40 p.m., 1.4% of the float. At 1:01:45 the first trade printed at $4.01. In 16.2 seconds, 27,305 shares traded at exactly $4.01 and the bid was gone. It wasn't pulled. Sellers hit it.

The 1:02 minute went as low as $3.93. By 1:04 it had bounced to $4.69. It didn't hold. By 1:12 it was $3.80.

The close and after hours

It kept fading: $3.03 at 3:14 p.m. and $3.20 at the close, 52% below the $6.64 high.

In the regular session, 6.04 million shares traded: the float changed hands about 3 times. Counting pre-market and after hours, 6.73 million traded, about 78 times its normal volume of about 86,000 shares a day.

After hours it ran from the $3.20 close to $4.59 at 5:04 p.m. Our data shows no news after the 10:14 a.m. headline. By 6:24 p.m. it was $3.50, and the last trade of the evening was $3.25 at 7:59 p.m.

What to take from it

• After the top, the next push stopped lower. $6.64 at 12:27 p.m., then $5.89 at 12:35 p.m.
• A big ask wall can disappear instead of breaking, and a big bid can break instead of holding. The $5.19 ask wall was pulled and the $4.01 bid was hit through in 16 seconds. A wall on the book is not a promise.
• Almost all of the move was gone by the close. It closed at $3.20, 52% below the $6.64 high.
