The day before, LXEH traded 8,326 shares and closed at $1.37. Our data has no news headline for the 23rd.

The first trades on the 23rd were at $1.98, already above the $1.37 close. In the 4:15 minute it traded as low as $1.48 and as high as $3.23. In the 4:16 minute it hit $3.39, the high so far, up 147% from the close. That minute alone traded 268,709 shares.

It didn't hold. In the 4:20 minute it traded as low as $1.77. It ran to $2.62 at 4:22, then fell to $1.98 at 4:24, down 24%.

By the end of the 4:27 minute, more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (1.89 million).

At 4:28 it came back for one more push. A 29,960-share buy swept six price levels from $2.81 to $2.86 at 4:28:02. Five seconds later a 22,312-share buy went from $2.86 to $3.00 across eight levels. The minute's high was $3.06, a lower high under the $3.39 top. The next minute it traded as low as $1.94.

Another try at 4:53 and 4:54 reached $2.99, lower again. 11.35 million shares traded before the bell.

Walls on the book: $2.00, then $2.52

From 4:37 a.m. someone was bidding for stock at exactly $2.00. It peaked at 48,209 shares at 4:38 (2.5% of the float), while the stock traded well above it. It was pulled at 5:43:38. In the 1.8 seconds before that, 10,401 shares traded at $2.00. The 5:44 minute went down to $1.79. A second bid at $1.98 showed up at 5:10 (peak 51,020 shares) and was gone by 5:12.

By 6:07 the stock had bounced from $1.84 at 6:02 to $2.29. Then the offers appeared. At 6:08:02 there were 75,337 shares for sale at exactly $2.52, about 4% of the float. Three seconds later another 34,949 shares were offered at $2.65. The stock never traded up to $2.52 while that wall was there.

The open

The stock drifted down through the early morning to $1.52 at 8:12, then crept back up. It opened at $1.68, up 23% from the previous close. A single 12,747-share print went through at $1.68 at 9:30:00.

It touched $1.75 at 9:31, then slid. It was $1.51 at 9:44 on 29,630 shares in that minute. At 9:53 it hit $1.43, the low so far, 15% under the open and still above the $1.37 close.

A quiet middle of the day

From 10 a.m. to noon it stayed between $1.46 and $1.60. Many minutes traded only a few hundred shares.

At 12:25:29 p.m. the $2.52 wall was pulled. The stock was around $1.52. By 2:40 p.m. it had crept up to $1.75.

The afternoon

The 2:43 minute ran to $2.06 on 129,738 shares. At 2:43:42 the $2.65 wall was pulled. At 2:44:02 a 19,287-share sell went from $1.99 to $1.88 across 10 levels, and the 2:45 minute dipped to $1.82. Then it turned up again.

At 2:47:23 a 19,320-share buy went from $2.27 to $2.33 across seven levels. At 2:47:45 it was halted (a volatility pause) with the last trade at $2.34.

It reopened at 2:52:45 at $2.43, 4% above where it stopped. A single 56,839-share print went through at that price.

The 2:52 minute reached $2.50, the same price as the ask wall that had been up since 6:31 a.m. At 2:52:46 a 22,084-share sell went from $2.36 down to $2.19 across 15 levels. Also at 2:52:46 a new ask wall appeared at $2.95. It peaked at 44,908 shares at 3:34 p.m.

The 2:53 minute fell to $1.94. At 2:53:26 it was halted again (a volatility pause) with the last trade at $1.94.

It reopened at 3:03:26 p.m. at $1.65, 15% under where it stopped. A single 56,191-share print went through at that price.

By the 3:08 minute it traded as low as $1.46.

What to take from it

• A spike with no news in the data can fade as fast as it rose. LXEH hit $3.39 at 4:16 a.m., then was back at $1.98 by 4:24, and later pushes reached only $3.06 and $2.99.
• Walls on the book can sit there for hours without the stock trading through them. The 75,337-share ask at $2.52 was up from 6:08 a.m., the stock never traded up to it, and it was pulled at 12:25 p.m. with the stock near $1.52.
• A halt reopen can be a poor place to get filled. After the 2:52:45 reopen at $2.43, a 5,000-share market buy would have averaged $132 above the screen price, and the stock was halted again within a minute.
