A quiet start

TGL closed the day before at $3.00. On September 15 it traded between $2.76 and $3.09.

Pre-market was nearly empty. The high was $3.08 at 6:13 a.m., and only 394 shares traded before the bell.

It opened at $3.01. For the next two hours it drifted up slowly. By 10:00 it was at $3.22. At 11:29 it was at $3.28. Many minutes had no trades at all.

The headline and the first halt

At 11:33 GlobeNewsWire ran: “Treasure Global's Subsidiary Tadaa Technology Secures US$52 Million Partnership to Deploy AI-Powered Agricultural Supply Chain Platform for Malaysian Government”. The 11:33 minute went from $3.32 to $3.66, on 24,501 shares.

At 11:33:20 it was halted (a volatility pause). It reopened at 11:43:20 at $4.00, well above the $3.66 where it stopped.

The reopen print was a single trade of 39,589 shares at $4.00. Within the minute it hit $4.40. Then it fell. At 11:43:28 one sell order went through 31 price levels, from $4.40 down to $3.81. The 11:43 minute closed at $3.62.

The second halt

At 11:44:14 it was halted again, last trade $3.60. It reopened at 11:54:14 at $3.51, below where it stopped. This time the reopen print was 18,794 shares.

It dipped to $3.40 at 11:55. Then it climbed. By 12:00 it was at $4.17, and at 12:04 it touched $4.44. A pullback to $3.74 came at 12:05, and then it turned up again.

The bid at $4.00

From 12:07 on, there was a large bid for stock at exactly $4.00.

The stock traded above it. At 12:10 it hit $4.54, the high of the day so far, then closed that minute at $4.25. The bid sat roughly 12% under the high.

At 12:11:16 the bid peaked at 47,898 shares, about 2.7% of the 1.76 million-share float. From then, shares traded at exactly $4.00. In 13.2 seconds, 45,449 shares traded there, and by 12:11:30 the wall was gone. At 12:11:29 a 10,000-share print went at $4.00, and a sell sweep of 11,821 shares ran from $4.00 to $3.90.

At 12:11:46 it was halted (a volatility pause), last trade $3.86.

It reopened at 12:16:46 at $3.69. The first print was 13,458 shares at that price. Two minutes later it fell to $3.27 at 12:18.

The rest of the day

It bounced to $3.58 by 12:22 and traded between about $3.41 and $3.65 over the next half hour. At 12:49 it pushed to $3.65, a lower high under the $4.54 top.

From there it drifted. It was at $3.31 at 1:57 p.m. and dipped to $3.21 at 2:30. By 2:51 p.m., more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (1.76 million). Late in the day it ticked up, and it closed at $3.47, 24% under the high.

By the close, 1.92 million shares had traded, a little more than the float, at about 6 times its normal volume.

After hours

It spiked to $3.78 at 4:01 p.m. Then it slid. It was near $3.00 by 5:53 p.m. and hit $2.80 by 7:57 p.m., below the previous close. Another 122,844 shares traded after the bell.

What to take from it

• A big bid at a round number can be traded through, not just held. The $4.00 bid peaked at about 2.7% of the float. 45,449 shares traded at $4.00 in 13 seconds.
• Halt reopens were thin. The screen showed 731, 195 and 172 shares, and the three 5,000-share buys cost $171, $725 and $434 more than the screen price.
• The next push after the top stopped lower. $4.54 at 12:10, then $3.65 at 12:49, and a $3.47 close.
