The day before

On October 2, VEEA traded between $3.11 and $4.36 and closed at $3.33. After hours it was back up to $3.98. No news headline came with the data for either day.

Pre-market: the float traded by 5:10 a.m.

The first trades on the 5th were at $4.44, already above the $3.33 close. It slid to $3.87 by 4:24 a.m. That was the low so far. Then it turned. At 4:53 a.m. it hit $4.88.

By 5:10 a.m., more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (1.85 million). From $4.33 at 5:01 a.m. it ran to $5.54 at 5:13 a.m. Two minutes later the 5:15 candle dropped to $4.83.

The second push came at 7 a.m. From $5.08 at 7:07 a.m. it ran to the pre-market high, $6.00 at 7:13 a.m. It pulled back to $5.70 by the end of that minute. 12.55 million shares traded before the bell.

The open

It opened at $5.34, up 60% from the previous close. The first minute was heavy, 158,193 shares, and it traded as low as $5.00. A 38,043-share print went through at $5.37 at 9:30:00.

Then it ranged between about $4.90 and $5.25 for 20 minutes. At 9:55 it jumped to $5.65 on 272,386 shares. It reached $5.78 at 9:56, still under the $6.00 pre-market high.

The walls above: $5.99, $6.00 and $5.70

This is the part a chart doesn't show you.

Sellers were stacked above the price. An ask wall at $6.00 was first seen at 7:00:38 a.m. and peaked at 68,133 shares at 9:57 a.m. (3.7% of the float). A bigger one showed up at $5.99 at 9:27:39: 157,488 shares, 8.5% of the float. It was pulled at 10:11:25.

From 9:58 a.m. there was a third, at exactly $5.70. It peaked at 60,386 shares at 9:59 a.m. (3.3% of the float).

The stock then slid away from them. By 10:09 it was at $4.96, and it spent the late morning near $5.00.

At 11:33 it dropped again, to $4.73 on 125,529 shares. Bid walls had built below: $4.70 (52,421 shares at 11:33) and $4.50 (67,041 shares at 11:41). Both were pulled at 11:43. The low since the open came that same minute, $4.66 at 11:43.

From $4.76 at 11:50 a.m. it crept back toward $5.00.

It crept up through the lunch hours. It was still under $5.10 at 1:30 p.m. The $5.70 wall had sat there for almost four hours.

At 1:55:32 p.m. trades began printing at $5.70. In 2.5 seconds, 39,278 shares traded at exactly $5.70 and the wall was gone. It wasn't pulled. Buyers ate it. The minute closed at $5.84, and it tagged $5.85 at 1:56 p.m., up 23% from $4.76 at 11:50.

The $6.00 break and the halt

During the 2:07 p.m. minute, the day's volume passed ten times the float. At 2:07:04 a buy order of 45,678 shares swept 12 price levels, from $5.96 to $6.07. The $6.00 wall was eaten: 20,451 shares traded at exactly $6.00 in that one second. VEEA had cleared the pre-market high.

At 2:07:36 it was halted (a volatility pause) with the last trade at $6.07.

It reopened at 2:12:36 at $6.07. A 48,510-share print crossed at $6.07. Within the same second, one buy order swept 20 levels, from $6.21 to $6.40. A 25,000-share print went off at $6.36. The minute's high was $6.40.

The next minute it fell to $5.82 and closed at $5.95. It was back at $6.33 by 2:15.

The afternoon after the reopen

It chopped between $5.64 and $6.60 for the next half hour. At 2:28 a bid wall of 50,083 shares showed up at $5.01. It was pulled at 2:30:56. At 2:31:03 a sell order swept 25 levels, from $5.93 to $5.69. The 2:31 minute low was $5.64. That was the lowest point of this stretch.

From $5.73 at 2:32 p.m. it ran to $6.75, the high of the day, at 2:54 p.m. That is 103% above the $3.33 close. At 2:53:29 a buy order swept 17 levels, $6.49 to $6.65. One second later a sell order hit 8 levels, $6.68 to $6.59.

Within three minutes it was back at $6.17.

The rest of the day

It kept fading. At 3:05 p.m. it was at $6.11 and by 3:14 p.m. at $5.79. From there to the close it drifted between $5.59 and $5.95, and closed near $5.70.

After hours it pushed to $6.15 at 4:53 p.m., then slipped back to $5.31 by 7:56 p.m. 719,063 shares traded after hours.

By the close, 22.94 million shares had traded, pre-market included: the float changed hands about 12 times. Relative volume for the day was 3.4.

What to take from it

• A wall can sit for hours and still break. The $5.70 ask wall stood for almost four hours, then buyers ate 39,278 shares in 2.5 seconds.
• The pre-market high is a level the stock has to earn. VEEA cleared $6.00 only at 2:07 p.m. After that, it halted.
• The reopen cost more than the screen showed. At 2:12:37, 600 shares sat at the screen price and a 5,000-share order averaged $6.40 and cost $132 more than the screen showed.
