Pre-market: a quiet morning, then one minute

The first trades on the 19th were at $3.41, already above the $2.67 close. The 4:19 minute reached $3.53 on 68,350 shares. That was the highest price before 7:22.

Then it went quiet. From 4:30 to 7:20 it stayed between $3.12 and $3.40, and many minutes traded only a few hundred shares.

7:22

Here's what happened. The stock ran to $4.09 inside that minute. At 7:22:57, 50,000 shares appeared for sale at $4.83, 2.8% of the float. That was far above the $4.09 high. A second, smaller wall showed at $4.29 at 7:23:02. It peaked at 25,519 shares at 9:14.

Then it reversed fast. Three large sell orders swept the book within 12 seconds: 11,805 shares from $3.78 to $3.66 at 7:23:20, 12,188 from $3.59 to $3.45 at 7:23:25, and 13,229 from $3.54 to $3.41 at 7:23:32. Each one went through 13 to 15 price levels. By 7:25, the low was $2.83. 870,743 shares traded in the four minutes from 7:22 to 7:25.

By 7:33 a.m., more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (1.76 million).

The slide to $2.57

A 15,020-share sell sweep went through four levels, $2.95 to $2.92, at 7:29:17. It bounced to $3.10 at 7:30, then kept sliding. At 7:54 it hit $2.57, the low so far. By then the price was below the $2.67 previous close.

From 8:00 to 9:29 it stayed between $2.62 and $3.02, mostly on thin volume. 2.13 million shares traded before the bell, about 1.2 times the float.

The open and the 10:00 headline

It opened at $3.00, up 12% from the previous close. A big print at 9:30:00: 18,044 shares at $3.00. The 9:30 minute ranged from $3.05 to $2.88 on 31,112 shares. By 9:40 it was at $2.70, the low since the open.

At 10:00 a.m. GlobeNewsWire ran: “Treasure Global Expands Global Investor Access as Its Common Stock Become Available Through Binance Stocks Trading”. The 10:00 minute traded 22,847 shares, the most of any minute after the 9:30 opening minute.

Here's what happened. The 10:05 minute went to $3.13 on 24,647 shares. At 10:06 it pushed to $3.27, the high after the open, on 54,972 shares. That was a lower high, well under the $4.09 top. Four minutes later, at 10:10, it was down to $3.00.

The rest of the day

From 10:20 on it mostly traded between $2.90 and $3.05, with small volume. A 10,711-share print at $3.00 and a 10,762-share buy sweep ($2.98 to $3.03) both came at 11:05:06. At 11:31 it dropped to $2.82, and the 11:32 low was $2.75.

The afternoon was quiet. At 2:40 p.m. a 10,000-share print went off at $3.00 at the ask. At 3:46 p.m. it jumped to $3.18, and at 3:47:16 22,504 shares were offered at $4.00, well above the price. It was back at $2.99 by 3:59. The 4:00 p.m. print was $2.92.

After hours, 52,198 shares traded. The range was $2.78 to $3.02.

By the close, 675,895 shares had traded in the regular session. For the whole day, 2.86 million shares traded: the float changed hands about 1.6 times, at about 20 times its normal volume.

What to take from it

• After the top, the next push stopped lower. $4.09 at 7:22 a.m., then $3.27 at 10:06 a.m.
• At the 7:22 spike, a market buy cost more than the screen showed. At the high, a 5,000-share buy averaged $279 over what was on screen.
• A pre-market spike after a quiet morning faded before the open. By 7:33 a.m. the float had traded, and by 7:54 the price was below the previous close.
