Pre-market: quiet, nothing above $2.12
The previous close was $1.97. The first trade on the 6th was at 4:01 a.m., at $2.12. That was the pre-market high. It came on just 2 shares.
After that the stock sat mostly between $1.94 and $2.04. Many minutes had no trades at all. Only 9,609 shares traded before the bell. That is under 1% of the 1 million share float.
The open and a slow morning
It opened at $1.97, right at the previous close. At 9:34 it touched $2.08 on 1,354 shares. By 10:07 it was at $2.06, barely above where it started.
No news was recorded for the day. At 10:12 it started to move: $2.14, then $2.22 a minute later. At 10:24 it touched $2.36 and closed the minute at $2.33 on 7,126 shares.
10:26 to 10:37: the run and the halt
The volume changed at 10:26. That minute traded 26,999 shares and closed at $2.47. The next minute, 10:27, traded 111,697 shares and ran from $2.55 to $3.09.
At 10:27 it was halted (a volatility pause) with the last trade at $3.09. The halt lasted ten minutes.
Stop It's 10:37. DLXY has been halted for ten minutes after its last trade at $3.09. It is about to reopen. Would you buy the reopen?

It reopened at 10:37:45. The first print was a single trade of 175,597 shares at $3.09. That one print was about 17.6% of the 1 million share float. Two seconds later, 28,000 shares printed at $3.20, the high so far.
The 10:37 minute traded 394,639 shares, with a high of $3.20 and a close of $2.99. At 10:38 the low was $2.40. By the close of that minute it was at $2.65. By 10:39, more shares had traded than exist in the float.
Walls on both sides
Even before the reopen, stock was lined up above the price. An ask wall sat at $3.25 from 10:33, peaking at 31,192 shares at 10:38. Another sat at $3.50 from 10:32. It peaked at 50,744 shares at 10:44, about 5% of the float.
Below the price, bids stacked up too. A bid wall at $2.50 peaked at 57,974 shares at 10:51. One at $2.40 reached 39,135 shares.
At 10:46 it pushed to $3.17, a lower high under the $3.20 top.
Stop It's 10:56. DLXY is at $2.64. A bid wall at $2.50 peaked near 58,000 shares at 10:51, with another at $2.40 below it. Would you buy here, counting on the bids to hold?

At 10:56:42, a 29,607-share sell sweep went from $2.51 down to $2.40 across 12 levels. Both bid walls were gone in seconds. The $2.50 wall was hit in under a second and the $2.40 wall in about two. The 10:56 candle closed at $2.45 on 216,284 shares.
The bid at $2.21
From 11:12 a.m. on, a large bid sat at exactly $2.21. It peaked at 39,153 shares at 11:16, about 4% of the float.
Stop It's 11:18. DLXY is at $2.24. A large bid, up to about 39,000 shares, sits at $2.21, just below. The stock has drifted down from $3.20 over the past 40 minutes. Would you buy here, with that bid underneath?

At 11:18:12, 21,309 shares traded at exactly $2.21 in under a second and the wall was gone. It wasn't pulled. Sellers hit it. The 11:18 minute low was $2.19, and it closed at $2.22.
The rest of the day
It did not get back near $3. The afternoon high was $2.59 at 1:50 p.m. It then slid, with a drop to $2.20 at 3:20 p.m. It closed at $2.40, 25% under the $3.20 high.
For the regular session, 4.75 million shares traded: the float changed hands about 5 times, at about 3.4 times its normal volume. After hours added another 67,992 shares.
What to take from it
- Most of the volume came in the first 20 minutes after the reopen. From 10:37 to 10:56 about 3.1 million of the session's 4.75 million shares traded, after a slow morning.
- On this reopen, a market buy cost more than the screen showed. The book was thin: 20 shares at the screen price, and a 5,000-share order cost $403 more than the screen price.
- These bid walls did not hold. The $2.50 and $2.40 bids vanished in seconds, and the $2.21 bid was eaten in under a second.

How it traded
Intraday run. It opened up 0.3% at 1.97, then ran from the open to the high of 3.20 in 67 minutes through a halt.
| Time (ET) | What happened | Watch it |
|---|---|---|
| 4:01 a.m. | Pre-market high, 2.12 | |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 1.97, up 0.3% from the previous close | |
| 10:24 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 1.97 | |
| 10:27 a.m. | Halted: LULD pause (limit up-limit down). Trading resumes at 10:37 a.m. | |
| 10:37 a.m. | High of the day to the close, 3.20 | |
| 10:39 a.m. | Volume since 4:00 a.m. passes the whole float, 1.00 million shares | |
| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 2.37, 25.9% 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.
The day in numbers
- Volume, from the one-minute bars: 9,609 shares before the 9:30 a.m. open (0%), 7,292 in the first 30 minutes (0%), and 4.81 million in the rest of the day to 8 p.m. (100%).
- Float rotation, the volume since 4 a.m. against the float of 1.00 million shares: past it once at 10:39 a.m., twice at 10:46 a.m., three times at 10:54 a.m.
- The halt at 10:27 a.m.: up 37.3% in the 5 minutes into it, reopened at 3.09, unchanged from the last trade before it, then down 6.8% over the next 5 minutes.
