The day before
On August 24, AMIX opened at $5.69 and hit $16.40. It closed at $5.37, below where it opened.
The news came after the close. At 9:06 p.m. a press release ran with the headline: “Autonomix Medical Enters into $4.9 Million Warrant Inducement Priced at a Premium to Market Under Nasdaq Rules”. The last bar of the 24th traded at $11.63, well above the close.
Pre-market: the float traded by 4:53 a.m.
The first trades on the 25th were at $9.90, already far above the $5.37 close. The stock fell fast, to $8.00 within the first minute, down 20% from the $10.04 it touched in that minute.
From $8.32 at 4:05 it ran to $10.20 at 4:07 a.m. That was the high so far, before the market opened. The 4:07 candle closed at $8.91.
It came back once more. At 4:11 a.m. it pushed to $10.13, a lower high under the $10.20 top. After that it hovered near $9 until about 6:30 a.m. (with a push to $9.88 at 5:45), then slid to $6.81 by 8:08. It bounced to $8.56 at 8:55 and to $9.05 at 9:17, then faded to about $7.60 by the bell.
By 4:53 a.m., more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (953,756). In all, 4.44 million shares traded before the bell.
The open
It opened at $7.61, up 42% from the previous close. It had slipped to around $7.60 in the last minute before the bell. In the first second after the open, one 29,909-share trade printed at $7.60.
The first minute ran to $8.27, then it dipped to $7.38 by 9:33 and bounced around. At 9:58 it jumped from $8.69 to $9.40, and at 10:04 it reached $9.99, the high since the open. That was still below the 4:07 a.m. high.
At 10:15 it dropped from $9.48 to $8.53 in one minute, and by 10:26 it was near $7.91. After that, through 3:24 p.m., the stock stayed between roughly $7.66 and $8.85, with volume thinning out.
The bid at $8.00
This is the part a chart doesn't show you.
From 3:08 p.m. on, a large bid sat at exactly $8.00. It peaked at 40,651 shares at 3:19 p.m., about 4% of the float. From 3:09 to 3:24 the stock traded at or above $8.00.
Stop It's 3:25. AMIX is at $8.03. A large bid, tens of thousands of shares, has been sitting at $8.00 since 3:08. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, time and sales and chart stop at 3:25 p.m. ET for your call, then show what happened. The clip starts at 3:22 p.m. ET.
Here's what happened. At 3:26:08 p.m. the bid was pulled. In the 8.9 seconds before, 6,758 shares traded at exactly $8.00. The 3:26 candle dropped to $7.79.
The slide went on. It was $7.57 at 3:38 and $7.23 at 3:43. The low after the open, $7.15, came at 3:58 p.m.
The rest of the day
It closed at $7.21, 29% under the $10.20 high of the day. That high came before the bell, at 4:07 a.m., 34% above where it opened.
After hours it traded between about $6.62 and $7.89. At 5:15 p.m. it jumped from $7.34 to $7.80 on 10,182 shares.
Through the close, 10.65 million shares had traded (4.44 million pre-market and 6.21 million in the regular session): the float changed hands about 11 times, at about 2 times its normal volume.
What to take from it
- After the top, the next push stopped lower. $10.20 at 4:07 a.m., then $10.13 at 4:11 a.m.
- A big bid is not a promise. The 40,651-share bid at $8.00 was pulled at 3:26:08 p.m., and the stock fell about 11% over the next 32 minutes.
- The float traded over before the open. By 4:53 a.m. more shares had traded than the float holds.

How it traded
Gap, run and fade. It gapped up 41.7% to 7.61 at the open, ran from the open to the high of 9.99 in 34 minutes, then gave back 117% of that move by 4:00 p.m., trading at 7.21.
| Time (ET) | What happened | Watch it |
|---|---|---|
| Aug 24, 9:06 p.m. | News (GlobeNewsWire): Autonomix Medical Enters into $4.9 Million Warrant Inducement Priced at a Premium to Market Under Nasdaq Rules | |
| 4:00 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 5.37 | |
| 4:07 a.m. | Pre-market high, 10.20 | |
| 4:07 a.m. | High of the day to the close, 10.20 | |
| 4:53 a.m. | Volume since 4:00 a.m. passes the whole float, 953,756 shares | |

| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 7.21, 29.3% below the high |
The shape is a fixed rule, not a judgement: gapped 10% or more at the open, ran 10% or more from the open to the high, and faded if it gave back 30% or more of that move by the close.
