The day before

The official previous close was $1.19. On August 24 the stock traded between $1.10 and $1.23. Its last bar of that day, which may be after hours, was $1.15.

The float is 22,200 shares. That is very small.

Pre-market: a wall at $1.25

At 4:01 a.m. there were 28,849 shares offered at exactly $1.25, about 130% of the float. That was its peak size. The first trades were at $1.20, and the stock stayed under the wall.

At 4:08 it reached $1.23. The bar had only 12 shares in it. By 4:12 it was back at $1.18. It touched $1.23 again at 4:54.

At 4:54:29 a.m. the $1.25 wall was pulled. The size left the book without trading there. In the same second a new ask wall appeared at $1.44, with up to 27,828 shares (about 125% of the float) at 4:59. It was pulled at 5:44:51, and a third wall showed up at $1.46 that same second. That one peaked at 29,081 shares at 10:34, about 131% of the float.

None of those walls was reached before the close of the regular session. Pre-market volume was just 4,996 shares, and the price stayed between $1.16 and $1.23 until the open.

The open and the session

It opened at $1.18, below the $1.19 previous close. For most of the morning it sat at $1.18 to $1.19 on thin trading. Many minutes had no trades at all.

In the afternoon it slid. It was $1.18 at 3:20 p.m. and $1.17 by 3:33.

In the 3:59 minute it dipped to just under $1.15, the low after the open. Regular-session volume was 25,913 shares.

It closed the regular session at $1.15, down from the $1.19 previous close. The float changed hands about once in the regular session.

4:10 p.m.: the headline

At 4:00 p.m. it was $1.15. Then at 4:10 p.m. GlobeNewsWire ran: “YY Group Eliminates $5.94 Million Second Financing Tranche and Cancels All Outstanding Warrants.”

The 4:10 bar opened at $1.18 and closed at $1.55 on 300,578 shares. The next minute it touched $1.57. The 4:10 minute alone traded more than 13 times the float.

After hours: up to $2.19

It did not run in a straight line. It dipped to $1.37 at 4:20, pushed to $1.69 at 4:29, and was back at $1.49 by 4:32. Then it went up again, hitting $1.83 at 4:39 and just under $1.87 at 4:42.

A dip followed. At 5:02 it was $1.55, then it chopped around $1.60 for most of the next half hour. A new push started at 5:48. It reached $1.95 at 6:00 and $2.19, the high of the day, in the 6:11 p.m. minute.

From there it held a range of about $1.97 to $2.19 until 7:58 p.m. The last bar, at 7:59 p.m., closed at $2.19. That is up 90% from the 4:00 p.m. price of $1.15.

After-hours volume was 15,767,595 shares. Whole-day volume was 15,798,504. Relative volume was about 46 times normal.

What to take from it

• A big ask wall can sit there and never matter. Three walls of roughly 27,800 to 29,100 shares each sat above this stock pre-market, and the price did not reach them during the regular session.
• On a 22,200-share float, the regular session can look dead while the real move comes later. Here the regular session closed at $1.15 and the high was $2.19, after hours.
• A thin pre-market book costs more than the screen says. At 4:08 a.m. a 5,000-share buy averaged $1.25 against a $1.19 screen.
