A stock that barely traded
On September 23, IFBD closed at $0.9439. 2,254 shares traded that day.
September 24 started the same way. The open was $0.91, down about 4% from the previous close, on one share. Nothing traded pre-market. After the open there were a few trades over the next hour. The first minute with real volume was 10:38 a.m., with 3,794 shares. The float is 8.19 million shares.
10:38 a.m.: the move starts
The 10:38 a.m. minute opened at $1.00 and closed at $1.03. At 10:39 it was $1.05, and at 10:40 it was $1.19. Those three minutes traded about 5,600 shares in total, and for the next several minutes it traded almost nothing near $1.19.
At 10:48 a.m. it moved again. It went from $1.17 to $1.57 on 30,372 shares. At 10:48:59 it was halted (a volatility pause).
The reopen
It reopened at 10:53:59 at $1.65. A single print of 33,404 shares at $1.65 came at that moment.
Stop It's 10:54. IFBD reopened from its halt a few seconds ago at $1.65 and is at $1.66. It ran from $1.19 to $1.57 before the halt. Would you buy here?

Here's what happened. The 10:54 minute ranged from a low of $1.40 to $2.07, the high so far, on 454,550 shares. That is more than ten times the volume of the 10:53 minute.
The selling came fast. At 10:55:00 a single sell order of 29,943 shares went through four price levels, from $2.07 to $2.04. The 10:55 candle fell to $1.53 and closed at $1.74.
A lower high at $1.90
At 10:57 it pushed to $1.90, under the $2.07 top. That minute traded 485,605 shares and closed at $1.60. At 10:57:54 a sell order of 14,139 shares went through nine price levels, from $1.81 to $1.73.
The second halt
At 10:58:18 it was halted again with the 10:58 minute at $1.42. It reopened at 11:03:18 at $1.27 on one print of 63,231 shares. That is lower than where it stopped.
Stop It's 11:03. IFBD is reopening from its second halt. It stopped at $1.42 a few minutes ago, and the high so far was $2.07. Would you buy the reopen?
Press play: the real Level 2, time and sales and chart stop at 11:03 a.m. ET for your call, then show what happened. The clip starts at 11:00 a.m. ET.
Here's what happened. The 11:03 minute opened at $1.33 and closed at $1.14. The 11:04 minute hit a low of $1.00. At 11:06:38 there was a print of 20,600 shares at $1.00.
The rest of the regular session
The fade continued. It hit $0.9874 in the 11:07 minute, $0.91 at 11:09 and then a low of $0.8158 at 11:25. From there it drifted back up. It closed the 12:35 minute at $1.01 and the 12:54 minute at $1.08. At 1:02 p.m. it dipped to $0.93, then recovered to $1.00 by 1:04.
A late push came at 3:34 p.m., to $1.24 on 24,096 shares. The close was $1.16. About 4.08 million shares traded in the regular session, nearly half the float, and roughly 3,600 times its normal volume.
After hours
After hours it stayed between $1.13 and $1.22 until 5:28 p.m. At 5:00 p.m. the company filed a 6-K (a foreign company's current report).
The stock's next big move came at 5:29 p.m., from $1.25 to $1.44 on 23,378 shares. Then at 5:37 p.m. it started up again and reached $1.74 at 5:40 p.m. The after-hours high was $1.80 at 5:44 p.m., 55% above the $1.16 close. The headline doesn't say what the filing contained, so we can't tell whether it was related. It was back to $1.60 by 8:00 p.m. (7:59 p.m. bar). After-hours volume was 2.36 million shares.
What to take from it
- A thin stock can move a lot on very little volume. IFBD went from $1.00 to $1.19 on a few thousand shares before the main run started.
- A lower high after a spike is worth noticing. $2.07 at 10:54, then $1.90 at 10:57. The next halt reopened lower than it stopped.
- Around the halts the book was thin, so the screen price understated the cost. Each 5,000-share market buy cost $65 to $84 more than the screen showed.

How it traded
Intraday run. It opened down 3.6% at 0.9100, then ran from the open to the high of 2.07 in 84 minutes through a halt.
| Time (ET) | What happened | Watch it |
|---|---|---|
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 0.9100, down 3.6% from the previous close | |
| 10:40 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 0.9439 | |
| 10:48 a.m. | Halted: LULD pause (limit up-limit down). Trading resumes at 10:53 a.m. | |
| 10:54 a.m. | High of the day to the close, 2.07 | |

| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 1.16, 44.0% 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.
