The day before
On September 30, EJH was quiet. It traded between $1.30 and $1.45, opened at $1.38, and only 17,989 shares changed hands. The official close was $1.42.
Pre-market: the 7:15 headline
The first trade on the 1st came at 4:23 a.m., one share at $1.40. For hours it was thin. It moved above the $1.42 close at 5:39 a.m. and drifted between $1.43 and $1.69 on small volume.
At 7:09 the volume picked up and the price pushed to $1.69. Then at 7:15 a.m. PRNewsWire ran the headline: “E-Home Launches a Dedicated AI Service Robot for China's Household Services Market”. That minute opened at $1.61 and hit $1.80, the pre-market high, on 152,622 shares. It closed the minute at $1.66. The headline and the spike came in the same minute.
The spike did not hold. By 7:18 it was $1.54, and at 7:25 it was back under the previous close at $1.41. At 7:50 a.m. it touched $1.30, down 28% from $1.80. By the bell, 592,911 shares had traded.
The open
It opened at $1.53, up 8% from the previous close. It had already poked to $1.59 in the 9:28 and 9:29 minutes, so the open was below where it had just been. The first minutes were soft. By 9:31 it was at $1.47, the low since the open.
A slow climb after the open
It spent half an hour moving up a few cents at a time. It was at $1.60 around 9:47 and again at 9:55.
Stop It's 10:00. EJH is at $1.64, up from the $1.53 open. The pre-market high is $1.80. Would you buy here?

After a dip, it reached $1.81 at 10:04, up 18% from the open. That was the high to that point, just above the pre-market high.
It did not follow through. It pulled back to $1.66 at 10:10, then worked back up to $1.76 by 10:16.
Back toward the high
Stop It's 10:21. EJH is at $1.76. The high of the day so far is $1.81 from 10:04. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, time and sales and chart stop at 10:21 a.m. ET for your call, then show what happened. The clip starts at 10:18 a.m. ET.
Here's what happened. It broke $1.81 and moved up. At 10:23 it reached $1.88 on 19,539 shares. Then the 10:24 minute traded 144,636 shares and ran to $2.16, the high of the day, up 52% from the previous close. That one minute had nearly as many shares as the 7:15 minute.
It closed that minute at $1.95. In the next minute, 10:25, it dropped to $1.56 on 117,937 shares. It closed that minute at $1.60. The two minutes together traded 262,573 shares. The whole move up and back down took about two minutes.
After that it settled. From 10:30 on it held mostly between $1.67 and $1.85, apart from a dip to $1.53 at 10:48.
The rest of the day
It tried once more. At 1:37 p.m. it pushed to $1.87, well under the $2.16 top. It never got near it again.
After that it drifted. It dipped to $1.71 at 3:27 p.m., then recovered, and closed at $1.79, 17% below the high of the day.
After the bell it was volatile. It hit $1.87 at 4:14 p.m., fell to $1.50 by 4:16 p.m., and was at $1.53 by 7:59 p.m. After-hours volume was 149,765.
By the close, 944,897 shares had traded in the regular session. The float is 3.19 million shares. Relative volume for the day was about 54 times normal, on a stock that traded 17,989 shares the day before.
What to take from it
- A headline spike can be gone in minutes. The 7:15 a.m. spike hit $1.80, and by 7:50 a.m. the price was $1.30, under the previous close.
- The top was one fast minute, and the reversal was just as fast. $2.16 at 10:24 a.m. and $1.56 at 10:25 a.m. Anyone who bought near $2.16 was below their price within a minute.
- After the top, the next push stopped lower. $2.16 at 10:24 a.m., then $1.87 at 1:37 p.m. It closed at $1.79.
