Pre-market: quiet, nothing above $2.12

The previous close was $1.97. The first trade on the 6th was at 4:01 a.m., at $2.12. That was the pre-market high. It came on just 2 shares.

After that the stock sat mostly between $1.94 and $2.04. Many minutes had no trades at all. Only 9,609 shares traded before the bell. That is under 1% of the 1 million share float.

The open and a slow morning

It opened at $1.97, right at the previous close. At 9:34 it touched $2.08 on 1,354 shares. By 10:07 it was at $2.06, barely above where it started.

No news was recorded for the day. At 10:12 it started to move: $2.14, then $2.22 a minute later. At 10:24 it touched $2.36 and closed the minute at $2.33 on 7,126 shares.

10:26 to 10:37: the run and the halt

The volume changed at 10:26. That minute traded 26,999 shares and closed at $2.47. The next minute, 10:27, traded 111,697 shares and ran from $2.55 to $3.09.

At 10:27 it was halted (a volatility pause) with the last trade at $3.09. The halt lasted ten minutes.

It reopened at 10:37:45. The first print was a single trade of 175,597 shares at $3.09. That one print was about 17.6% of the 1 million share float. Two seconds later, 28,000 shares printed at $3.20, the high so far.

The 10:37 minute traded 394,639 shares, with a high of $3.20 and a close of $2.99. At 10:38 the low was $2.40. By the close of that minute it was at $2.65. By 10:39, more shares had traded than exist in the float.

Walls on both sides

Even before the reopen, stock was lined up above the price. An ask wall sat at $3.25 from 10:33, peaking at 31,192 shares at 10:38. Another sat at $3.50 from 10:32. It peaked at 50,744 shares at 10:44, about 5% of the float.

Below the price, bids stacked up too. A bid wall at $2.50 peaked at 57,974 shares at 10:51. One at $2.40 reached 39,135 shares.

At 10:46 it pushed to $3.17, a lower high under the $3.20 top.

At 10:56:42, a 29,607-share sell sweep went from $2.51 down to $2.40 across 12 levels. Both bid walls were gone in seconds. The $2.50 wall was hit in under a second and the $2.40 wall in about two. The 10:56 candle closed at $2.45 on 216,284 shares.

The bid at $2.21

From 11:12 a.m. on, a large bid sat at exactly $2.21. It peaked at 39,153 shares at 11:16, about 4% of the float.

At 11:18:12, 21,309 shares traded at exactly $2.21 in under a second and the wall was gone. It wasn't pulled. Sellers hit it. The 11:18 minute low was $2.19, and it closed at $2.22.

The rest of the day

It did not get back near $3. The afternoon high was $2.59 at 1:50 p.m. It then slid, with a drop to $2.20 at 3:20 p.m. It closed at $2.40, 25% under the $3.20 high.

For the regular session, 4.75 million shares traded: the float changed hands about 5 times, at about 3.4 times its normal volume. After hours added another 67,992 shares.

What to take from it

• Most of the volume came in the first 20 minutes after the reopen. From 10:37 to 10:56 about 3.1 million of the session's 4.75 million shares traded, after a slow morning.
• On this reopen, a market buy cost more than the screen showed. The book was thin: 20 shares at the screen price, and a 5,000-share order cost $403 more than the screen price.
• These bid walls did not hold. The $2.50 and $2.40 bids vanished in seconds, and the $2.21 bid was eaten in under a second.
