The day, step by step

Before the open

The previous close was $0.6725. Nothing traded pre-market.

At 8:00 a.m. Business Wire ran this headline: "VerifyMe Urges Shareholders to Vote 'For' Proposal 6 to Advance Proposed Figure OPEN Listing." At the same time the company filed a 425. There were no halts all day.

A slow drift up

It opened at $0.67, and the first minute traded 300 shares. Many minutes after that had no trades at all, and several traded a handful of shares. This is what thin trading looks like.

It touched $0.705 at 9:47, traded just under $0.70 through most of the next hour, and reached $0.71 at 11:09. At 11:11, 3,000 shares printed at $0.714. By 11:19 it was at $0.73. For the next 35 minutes it mostly stayed at $0.729.

The sweep at 11:54

This is the part a chart shows only as one candle. At 11:54:08, one buy order of 14,467 shares went through three price levels, from $0.729 to $0.74, in a single sweep. The 11:54 minute traded 26,139 shares and reached $0.7829.

It did not hold there. By 11:56 it was at $0.7587, and at 11:58 it was $0.75.

The top at $0.80

It worked back up: $0.78 again at 12:20, and $0.79 at 12:36. At 12:41 it hit $0.80, the regular-session high so far.

After the $0.80 high

From the high it slipped: $0.7916 at 12:47, $0.75 at 1:04 p.m., and $0.7329 at 1:21, the low of the afternoon.

Stop It's 3:43. VRME is at $0.7800. The stock has traded between about $0.76 and $0.78 for much of the afternoon, below the $0.80 high from 12:41. Trading is thin: the last few minutes traded only a few hundred shares or less, and many minutes have no trades at all. The only news was the 8:00 a.m. shareholder-vote headline, and there have been no halts. The market closes in about 17 minutes. Would you buy here?

Press play: the real Level 2, time and sales and chart stop at 3:43 p.m. ET for your call, then show what happened. The clip starts at 3:40 p.m. ET.

It stayed near $0.78 for the rest of the regular session. The 3:59 minute closed at $0.78 and the 4:00 minute at $0.77.

By the close, 101,202 shares had traded in the regular session. For the whole day, volume was 8,657,545 shares, about 673 times normal volume. Normal volume is tiny, about 13,000 shares a day. The float is 11.6 million shares.

After hours: $1.10

The big volume came after the bell. At 4:05 p.m. it traded at $0.7546. By 4:09 it was at $0.90, and it hit $1.10 at 4:23 p.m., up from the $0.67 open. After-hours volume was 8,556,343 shares, far more than the 101,202 of the whole regular session.

It fell back below $1 at times. By 5:00 p.m. it was near $1.01, and by 7:59 p.m. it was at $0.9272. At 5:15 p.m. the company filed a 424B3 prospectus. The 5:15 candle traded between $0.953 and $0.9653.

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.
