The day before

On August 31, WETO ran from $7.51 to $14.00. It gave all of that back and closed at $5.50, below the open.

Its last trade of that day was at $6.59.

Pre-market: the float traded by 4:56 a.m.

The first trades on the 1st were at $7.28, already above the $5.50 close.

From $7.11 at 4:23 a.m. it ran to the pre-market high, $8.19 at 4:29 a.m. At 4:30:04, right after the 4:29 high, a sell sweep of 14,961 shares went from $7.93 to $7.88. By 4:56 a.m., more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (914,205). 2.47 million shares traded before the bell.

After the 4:29 high it drifted. It held mostly between $7.30 and $7.90 for hours. At 8:00 a.m. GlobeNewsWire ran: “Wetour Robotics Demonstrates sEMG-Vision System Targeting Force and Occlusion Blind Spots in Physical AI Training.” The 8:00 candle traded between $7.58 and $7.72. By 8:04 it was at $7.45. By 8:28 it had slipped to $7.05. It climbed back to $7.70 by 9:29.

The open and the bid wall at $7.05

It opened at $7.67, up 39% from the previous close. A 14,247-share print at $7.70 came at 9:30:00.

Level 2 showed a bid wall at $7.05, under the price. The wall was first seen at 9:30:05. It peaked at 65,462 shares at 9:31:37, about 7% of the float. At 9:32:08 it was pulled.

The first minutes were wild. The 9:31 candle ran from $7.94 up to $8.28 and down to $7.53. The 9:32 candle ranged $7.52 to $8.00. That 9:31 minute alone traded 152,085 shares.

Here's what happened. At 9:33:40 a buy order of 32,270 shares swept through 15 price levels, from $8.00 to $8.15. In the same second there was a single 18,085-share print at $8.02. The 9:33 candle closed at $8.41.

$8.44 at 9:34, then the slide

It hit $8.44, the high so far, at 9:34. That is up 53% from the $5.50 close. By 9:35 it had dropped to $7.80. By 9:37 it had touched $7.23.

From there it kept making lower lows. It was $6.77 at 9:48. It was $6.40 at 9:56. Ask walls sat well above the price: at $10.00 from 9:30:43, at $9.00 from 9:31:14, and at $8.30 from 9:52:38.

Here's what happened. At 9:58:09 a sell order of 16,347 shares went through 18 price levels, from $6.19 to $5.99. The 9:58 low was $5.99, down 29% from $8.44. The candle closed at $6.33.

The rest of the day

It came back once more. At 10:08 it pushed to $6.59, a lower high under the $8.44 top. After that, 10:17 and 10:36 were sell candles. At 10:36 a 16,395-share sell sweep ran from $6.01 to $5.96, and the candle's low was $5.85.

The low after the open came at 11:09, $5.67. From there it chopped sideways around $6.00. A bid wall at $6.25 sat between 12:45 and 12:50 and peaked at 28,097 shares. At 1:10 p.m. another sell sweep, 13,471 shares from $6.03 to $5.95, came as the candle dropped to $5.86. It closed at $5.95.

After the bell it traded as high as $6.36 at 5:13 p.m.

The regular session had 3.48 million shares. Add the pre-market and it was 5.95 million through the close. For the full day, 6.40 million shares traded: the float changed hands about 7 times, at about 1.6 times normal volume.

What to take from it

• The high came in the first five minutes. $8.44 at 9:34, then $6.59 at 10:08. The next push stopped lower.
• A bid wall can vanish. The 65,462-share bid at $7.05 was never tested. The price stayed at $7.52 or higher while it sat there, and it was pulled at 9:32:08.
• Most of the move was gone by the close. It closed at $5.95, 30% below the high, and the float had traded over before the bell.
