The day before

On August 25, YYGH opened at $1.19 and closed at $1.15. The day's low was just under $1.15, and 15.80 million shares traded.

The news came after the close. At 4:10 p.m. GlobeNewsWire ran: “YY Group Eliminates $5.94 Million Second Financing Tranche and Cancels All Outstanding Warrants”. The last bar of that day was $2.19, and $2.19 was also the high of the day.

Pre-market: the float traded in the first minute

The first trades on the 26th were at $2.04, already well above the $1.15 close. The float is only 22,200 shares. The 4:00 a.m. minute alone traded 271,147, more than 12 times the float.

It sold off at first, down to $1.82 by 4:03. It chopped around $2.00 for the next hour and a half. A push at 5:55 a.m. reached $2.29 on 579,048 shares in that one minute, and it gave that back within three minutes.

The real run came at 7:00 a.m. It had climbed from $2.35 to $2.41 in the 6:59 minute, then kept going. At 7:00 a.m. it hit $2.61, the high so far, up 127% from the previous close. That one minute traded 1,420,397 shares. A 68,559-share buy swept from $2.47 to $2.50 at 7:00:15. By 7:01 it had dipped to $2.28.

Selling followed. Two sell sweeps of about 60,000 shares each went through at 7:01:02 and 7:01:53. It fell to $2.12 at 7:11 a.m., down 19% from $2.61.

It came back once more. At 7:35 a.m. it pushed to $2.29, a lower high under the $2.61 top. 30.81 million shares traded before the bell.

The open and the walls around it

It opened at $1.94, up 69% from the previous close. The first print was 101,765 shares at $1.94 at 9:30:00. The first minutes were wide. The 9:31 candle ran from $1.83 to $2.01.

Two big orders sat on the book. A bid wall at $1.80 had been there since 4:03 a.m. It peaked at 141,273 shares at 7:11 a.m., about 636% of the float. Above the market, an ask wall at $2.33 appeared at 9:08 a.m., 104,889 shares at its peak.

At 9:43 a buy sweep of 137,859 shares went from $2.00 to $2.05, and the stock touched $2.07. Two minutes later an 84,982-share sell sweep went from $1.99 to $1.93. At 9:56 it fell to $1.77, the low since the open. The $1.80 bid wall was eaten at 9:56:23, with 39,871 shares trading at exactly $1.80.

The bid at $1.85

From 10:15 on, someone was bidding for a lot of stock at exactly $1.85. It peaked at 105,449 shares at 10:16 a.m., about 475% of the float.

At 10:17:03 trades started hitting the wall at $1.85. In 3.4 seconds, 100,410 shares traded at exactly $1.85 and the wall was gone. It wasn't pulled. Sellers hit it, including a 104,174-share sell sweep from $1.85 to $1.83. The 10:17 candle's low was $1.83.

It didn't fall far. By 10:24 it was back at $1.89. The $2.33 ask wall was pulled at 10:38:47, not eaten. By 10:40 it was at $2.04, above the $1.94 open.

Midday: a bounce and three ask walls

At 11:30 it popped. A 57,351-share buy swept from $1.95 to $2.00, and the next minute it reached $2.09. By 11:33 it was back at $2.00.

Then ask walls started to appear above the price. One at $2.03 first showed at 11:52 (113,648 shares at its peak) and was pulled at 11:53:51. One at $1.98 showed at 11:55 and was pulled at 12:08:03. The third was at $1.97.

At 12:16:06 the wall was taken. 93,145 shares traded at exactly $1.97, and a 107,320-share buy sweep went from $1.96 to $1.99. Two of the prints at $1.97 were 30,400 and 19,319 shares. It wasn't pulled, it was eaten.

It didn't run. At 12:31 it fell to $1.88, and it spent the early afternoon between about $1.86 and $1.96.

The rest of the day

A late push came at 3:49 p.m., to $2.10. At 3:57 a 25,000-share print at $2.08 and a 112,707-share buy sweep from $2.07 to $2.11 took it to $2.13. The last regular-session bar, at 3:59 p.m., closed just under $2.14, 18% under the $2.61 high of the day. That high came before the bell, at 7:00 a.m., 35% above where it opened.

After hours it reached $2.20 at 4:47 p.m., then drifted lower. The last bar, at 7:59 p.m., closed at $1.89. 2.06 million shares traded after hours. The only news in the data is the headline from the night before.

Before the close, 44.06 million shares traded in pre-market and the regular session: the float changed hands about 1,985 times, at about 41 times its normal volume. Of that, 30.81 million was pre-market and 13.25 million was the regular session.

What to take from it

• After the top, the next push stopped lower. $2.61 at 7:00 a.m., then $2.29 at 7:35 a.m.
• The float traded over before the open. With a 22,200-share float, the 4:00 a.m. minute alone traded more than 12 times it.
• Walls can be eaten or pulled, and the fill depends on what's behind them. The $1.85 bid and the $1.97 ask were eaten in seconds. The $2.33 ask was pulled. After the $1.97 wall broke, 13,633 shares were offered at the screen price, so a 5,000-share order had no extra cost.
