Pre-market: almost nothing traded

The previous close was $1.56. The first trades were at $1.51 and $1.50 at 5:36 a.m. By 7:24 a.m. it was at $1.59.

The pre-market high was $1.60 at 8:56 a.m. Only 564 shares traded before the bell. The float is 1.85 million shares, so this was a very thin start.

The open and a slow morning

It opened at $1.60, up 3% from the previous close. The 9:32 minute was the busiest of the early session, with 8,710 shares. It traded as low as $1.58 and as high as $1.65 in that minute.

After that it drifted. It reached $1.79 at 10:01. From 10:36 it moved higher, reaching $1.89 at 10:40. From 10:43 until noon it mostly held between $1.76 and $1.88, usually on a few hundred to a few thousand shares a minute. There were no halts all day.

Noon: the volume shows up

At 12:03 the volume changed. That minute traded 11,428 shares, and the next one traded 27,175. In the 12:04 minute it touched $2.03. Most minutes through 12:18 traded more than 20,000 shares.

At 12:12 a bid wall appeared at exactly $2.00. It was first seen at 12:12:20 and peaked at 95,353 shares at 12:14:15, about 5% of the whole float. It sat just under the price while the stock pushed higher. At 12:15 it hit $2.15, up 34% from the $1.60 open, on 52,723 shares in the minute.

Here's what happened. The wall was pulled at 12:19:27. The 12:19 minute traded as low as $1.97. By 12:22 it was at $1.82, and at 12:24 it hit $1.73, down 20% from the $2.15 high. About 28,000 shares traded in each of the last two minutes of the drop. It stopped near $1.73 and spent the next half hour between about $1.77 and $1.98.

The afternoon climb

The stock was quiet through most of the early afternoon. At 2:58 it opened at $1.96, and in that minute it jumped to $2.03 on 24,788 shares. At 3:01:19 a buy order for 13,406 shares swept through three price levels, from $2.04 to $2.06.

From there it climbed in steps. It was at $2.19 by 3:28 and held around $2.15 to $2.20 for the next twenty minutes. At 3:50 a bid wall appeared at $2.18, first seen at 3:50:26. It peaked at 25,236 shares at 3:51:50 and was pulled at 3:53:14. At 3:52:30 a sell order for 13,037 shares went through three levels, from $2.22 to $2.20. A 10,000-share trade printed at $2.21 at the same moment. By 3:54 the stock was trading around $2.25 to $2.30.

At 3:55:30 a 20,000-share bid showed up far below the market, at $1.78.

It printed $2.35 at 3:56, the high of the regular session. That was up 51% from the $1.56 previous close.

It closed at $2.29, up 47% on the day.

Regular-session volume was 1.72 million shares, almost the whole float. For the whole day including after hours, 12.99 million shares traded, about 7 times the float and about 177 times normal volume. Normal volume for this stock is tiny, about 74,000 shares a day.

After hours: the merger headline

The first half hour after the close was quiet. It traded between $2.18 (at 4:08 p.m.) and $2.32. By 4:41 p.m. it was at $2.26 on 69 shares for the minute.

Then at 4:42 p.m. GlobeNewsWire ran: “Veea Inc. and NovaGen announce potential merger to launch an Edge AI-Powered Global Health Platform.” That minute traded 104,074 shares and the price went from $2.26 to a high of $2.67. By the end of the 4:42 minute, more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (1.85 million), counting the regular session and the after-hours trades so far. The next minute traded 161,070 shares. Within three minutes the stock had touched $2.74.

It kept climbing, with pauses. It was at $3.05 at 5:03 and $3.76 at 5:36, and it reached $4.00 at 5:52 p.m. It then chopped between about $3.60 and $4.10 until about 7:30 p.m., then pushed to new highs in the last half hour. After hours it ran from $2.18 at 4:08 p.m. to $4.25 in the 7:54 p.m. minute, up 95%. That is also the high of the whole day. About 11.27 million shares traded after hours.

What to take from it

• A big bid wall can be a level, but it can also be pulled. The $2.00 wall peaked at about 95,000 shares. After it was pulled at 12:19:27, the price fell to $1.73 by 12:24.
• Chasing a high costs more than the screen says. At 3:56:06 only 481 shares were offered at $2.30, and a 5,000-share buy averaged $2.32.
• The biggest move came after the close. The regular-session high was $2.35. A merger headline arrived at 4:42 p.m., that minute traded 104,074 shares, and the day's high of $4.25 came at 7:54 p.m.
