Pre-market: the float traded by 8:10 a.m.

The official previous close was $0.86. The stock had traded about 10,000 shares the day before. The first trade of this day came at 8:00 a.m.

At 8:00 a.m. Business Wire ran: “LogProstyle Inc. Enters into Agreement to Acquire 100% of I-FLATZ Corporation.” The first trades of the day were at $0.94, already above the $0.86 close.

It ran fast. From $0.94 at 8:00 a.m. it reached the pre-market high of $1.54 at 8:04 a.m. That minute alone traded about 1.74 million shares. The book shows how rough it was. At 8:04:13 a buy order for 30,981 shares swept from $1.46 to $1.49. At 8:04:20 a 13,542-share print went through at $1.41, and two sell sweeps ran down through the book in the same second, one from $1.48 to $1.41.

The drop was quick too. By 8:07 it was at $1.03, with more sell sweeps on the way down. At 8:09 the company filed a 6-K (a foreign company's current report). Within a minute it traded as low as $0.88.

By the end of the 8:10 a.m. minute, more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (6.36 million). At 8:10:20 one buy order for 44,496 shares took 38 price levels to fill, going from $0.94 to $0.97. Then it slid to $0.86 at 8:15 a.m., down 44% from the high.

After bounces to about $0.97 at 8:16 and $0.96 at 8:24, it slid to the pre-market low. A 67,820-share bid wall appeared at $0.81 around 8:36 and was pulled at 8:40. The pre-market low was $0.77 at 8:44 a.m. In all, 9.11 million shares traded before the bell.

The open and the long middle

It opened at $0.87, up 1% from the previous close. The low since the open was $0.79 at 9:35. At 9:56 a single 13,683-share print went through at $0.83, at the bid.

After that, not much. Volume dried up. Many minutes had only a few hundred shares, and some minutes had no trades at all. It drifted in a narrow band, mostly in the high $0.80s and low $0.90s, with $0.86 at 1:19 p.m.

It began to lift at 2:49 p.m. and was at $0.95 by the end of the 2:59 minute.

3 p.m.: the run starts

At 3:00 it started to move on rising volume. It was at $1.05 by 3:01 and touched $1.30 in the 3:08 minute. It reached $1.39 at 3:11 p.m., up 62% from the $0.86 afternoon low at 1:19.

From 3:04 p.m. the book showed a large ask wall at exactly $1.40. By 3:11 the wall was 77,422 shares, 1.2% of the float. It sat just above where the stock was trading.

At 3:14:49 trades started printing at $1.40. In 16.9 seconds, 24,531 shares traded at exactly $1.40 and the wall was gone at 3:15:07. It wasn't pulled. Buyers ate it. The stock did not hold the break, though. The 3:16 candle opened at $1.37, hit $1.41, and fell to $1.23 on about 303,000 shares.

Two more ask walls were already up. One was at $1.45 (first seen 3:14). The other was at $1.50 (first seen 3:14), and it peaked at 50,427 shares at 3:15. For the next half hour the stock went sideways. It had a $1.42 high at 3:25 and a $1.18 low at 3:42.

The wall at $1.50

At 3:42 p.m. it turned up from $1.18. At 3:45 trades reached the $1.45 wall. In 3.7 seconds, 12,882 shares traded at exactly $1.45, and the rest of the wall was pulled at 3:45:26.

At 3:46:04 trades started printing at exactly $1.50. In 14.2 seconds, 31,990 shares traded at exactly $1.50 and the wall was gone at 3:46:19. It wasn't pulled. Buyers ate it. A 51,050-share ask wall at $1.77 had been on the book. It disappeared at 3:46:54.

The stock hit $1.60 at 3:46 p.m., up 86% from the previous close. The top was quick. Within two minutes it was back at $1.43. At 3:48:11 a 24,696-share sell order swept from $1.48 to $1.43.

The rest of the day

It tried again. It reached $1.57 at 3:47 and again at 3:49, both lower highs under the $1.60 top. At 3:49 a new ask wall went up at $1.55, and it grew to 106,210 shares at 3:50 (1.7% of the float). It was pulled at 3:51. The stock got to $1.55 at 3:51 and no higher before the close.

It closed at $1.52, up 77% on the day. The regular session traded 6.85 million shares.

For the whole day, 19.04 million shares traded: the float changed hands about 3 times, at over 1,000 times its normal volume. 9.11 million of that was pre-market, and 3.08 million came after hours.

After hours

The 4:00 p.m. minute traded as high as $1.60 and closed at $1.43. It bounced to $1.55 at 4:09 and spiked to $1.58 in the 4:24 minute, then sank. It was at $1.18 by 4:31 and $1.10 at 6:04 p.m., down 31% from $1.60. By 8 p.m. it was back at about $1.21.

What to take from it

• A big ask wall at a round number can break in seconds. Here, $1.40 and $1.50 each went in under 20 seconds. The $1.40 break was followed by a drop to $1.23, and the $1.50 break was followed by the high of the day.
• After the top, the next pushes before the close stopped lower. $1.60 at 3:46 p.m., then $1.57 at 3:47 and 3:49, then $1.55 at 3:51. The 4:00 p.m. minute tagged $1.60 again.
• After hours gave back much of the late run. The stock was at $1.60 in the 4:00 minute and $1.10 by 6:04 p.m.
• The float traded over before the open. By 8:10 a.m. more shares had traded than the float holds. The stock then spent most of the day quiet before the 3 p.m. run.
