A quiet morning

GIPR closed the day before at $0.71, on 25,989 shares. The first trade on August 14 was $0.70 at 8:08 a.m.

The pre-market high was $0.74 at 9:29 a.m. Only 2,770 shares traded before the bell.

It opened at $0.72, up 2% from the previous close. At 10:14 a.m. a Schedule 13G (a passive 5% holder's stake) was filed. Trading stayed thin. There were no trades at all between 10:07 and 10:53.

The run toward $1.00

The move began late. From $0.72 at 11:34 a.m. it worked up to $0.98 at 12:18 p.m., up 36%. The 12:18 minute alone traded 175,345 shares.

By 12:20 p.m., more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (837,231). The 12:20 minute reached $0.9999, a hair under $1.00, and pulled back.

It went through. The 12:22 minute traded as high as $1.04. A bid wall showed up at $0.85 at 12:22:40 and grew to 59,188 shares (7.1% of the float) by 12:22:58. It was pulled at 12:31:09.

$1.27 and the wall at $1.00

From $0.83 at 12:19 p.m. it ran to $1.27, the high so far, at 12:26 p.m. The 12:26 minute traded 750,141 shares.

At 12:27:23 a sell order of 64,045 shares went through $1.27 to $1.25 in a single sweep. The stock then slid. At 12:28:58 another sell sweep of 74,289 shares ran from $1.09 to $1.03 across seven levels. The 12:28 minute closed at $1.02.

At 12:30:03 an ask wall appeared at exactly $1.00. By 12:30:16 it held 212,895 shares, about 25% of the float. That's the same second GIPR was halted (a volatility pause), with the last trade at $1.00. The wall was pulled at 12:32:31, while the stock was still halted.

The halt and the reopen

It reopened at 12:35:16 at $0.98, 2% below where it stopped. A single trade of 82,910 shares printed at $0.98.

The 12:36 minute traded 1,151,068 shares, the most of any minute that day. It ran up to $1.07, then fell to $0.83. A 95,210-share buy sweep at 12:36:46 went from $0.83 to $0.845. The 12:37 minute dipped to $0.82, down 35% from $1.27.

By 12:39 p.m., total volume had reached ten times the float.

A lower high, then the slide

It came back once more. At 12:39 p.m. it pushed to $0.95, a lower high under the $1.27 top. At 12:37:41 another ask wall had formed at $1.00. It grew to 83,955 shares (10% of the float) by 12:42:33.

The wall was pulled at 12:45:39, but by then the stock was far below it. In that minute it traded as low as $0.69. At 12:45:57 a sell sweep of 59,964 shares ran from $0.7323 to $0.7192 across 19 levels. By 12:59 p.m. it touched $0.53.

The afternoon: walls above, a bid below

The low after the open was $0.42 at 2:27 p.m.

At 2:28:58 p.m. a bid wall appeared at $0.37. It held 60,000 shares at its peak, about 7% of the float. At 3:09:51 p.m. it was pulled.

There were also walls on the ask side. One at $0.55 first showed at 2:45 p.m. and peaked at 93,967 shares at 3:42 p.m. One at $0.60 first showed at 2:52 p.m. and peaked at 120,380 shares at 3:47 p.m. From 2:45 to 4:00 p.m. the stock traded between about $0.44 and $0.50.

It closed at $0.50, 61% under the $1.27 high of the day. For the regular session, 14.81 million shares traded: the float changed hands about 18 times, at 55 times its normal volume.

After hours

The drop continued after the bell. At 4:55 p.m. it fell to $0.39, and the day low was $0.34 at 5:03 p.m. It then ran to $0.52 by 5:39 p.m., up 53%. After hours traded 1.41 million shares.

At 6:33 p.m. the company filed a 10-Q (the quarterly report). At 6:41 p.m. it filed an NT 10-Q (a notice the quarterly report is late).

What to take from it

• A huge ask wall can peak at the exact moment a halt starts. Here 212,895 shares sat at $1.00 at 12:30:16. The wall was gone before the stock reopened, and the reopen was at $0.98.
• After the top, each push stopped lower. $1.27 at 12:26 p.m., then $1.07 at 12:36 p.m. after the halt, then $0.95 at 12:39 p.m.
• The reopen filled worse than the screen. 332 shares were offered at $0.98, so a 5,000-share buy averaged $0.9973, $87 above the screen.
