The day before
On October 5, VCIG opened at $1.30, reached $1.40 and dipped to $0.85. The official close was $0.90, well below the open.
Pre-market: a drift down from $0.93
The first trade on the 6th was at 4:02 a.m., at $0.9339. That was the pre-market high. The stock then slid, with small, scattered trades. Volume was thin: 45,699 shares traded before the bell.
The pre-market low was $0.879 at 5:07 a.m. At 5:30 a.m. a bid wall of 23,881 shares (1.4% of the float) showed up at $0.8829. At 5:34 a.m. a single 11,031-share trade printed at $0.8829. That minute traded 12,517 shares, the busiest of the pre-market.
The open and a quiet morning
Between 9:28 and 9:29 a.m. the company filed two Form Ds. The stock opened at $0.92, then slid. The low since the open was $0.8829 at 9:49, the same price as the pre-market bid wall. It stayed near that price until 10:15.
It climbed slowly to about $0.98 by 11:08. At 11:20 the company filed another Form D. At 11:24 it crossed $1.00, and at 11:25 it reached $1.06. By 11:38 it was back at $0.98.
From noon on the afternoon was flat. It held between about $0.94 and $0.99 and closed the 3:44 p.m. minute at $0.943.
3:45 p.m.: the headline and the wall at $1.16
At 3:45 p.m. GlobeNewsWire ran: “VCI Global Launches VGAIN Compute AI Token Platform, Expanding into AI Infrastructure and LLM Services”. In that same minute the stock went from $0.955 to $1.23, up 30% from the 3:44 close. The minute traded 63,483 shares, more than the whole pre-market. It closed the minute at $1.15.
Stop It's 3:46. VCIG is at $1.15, up from $0.94 two minutes ago. A large block of stock is offered at exactly $1.16, right above the price. Would you buy here?

From 3:45:59 on, someone was offering a lot of stock at exactly $1.16. It peaked at 24,341 shares at 3:46:57, about 1.4% of the float. At 3:46:25 a 14,212-share trade hit the bid at $1.11, and the minute's low was $1.06.
At 3:47:35 trades began printing at $1.16. In 4.3 seconds, 24,340 shares traded at exactly $1.16 and the wall was gone. It wasn't pulled. Buyers ate it. One buy order of 11,695 shares went through $1.16 to $1.18 across three price levels.
After the wall
It did not go straight up. At 3:49 two sell orders swept through five price levels each, and the minute's low was $1.05. From there it climbed. At 3:50 a buy of 11,586 shares ran $1.18 to $1.20. The 3:50 minute closed at $1.23, and the 3:53 minute at $1.31.
At 3:55:31 a single buy order of 35,547 shares swept ten price levels, from $1.30 to $1.39.
Stop It's 3:56. VCIG is at $1.38, up from $1.13 seven minutes ago. A 35,547-share buy order just swept from $1.30 to $1.39. Would you chase it here?

By the end of the 3:57 minute, more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (1.73 million). Walls formed on both sides: up to 33,525 shares bid at $1.10, 24,037 bid at $1.30 and 28,398 offered at $1.47. Price traded between them and stayed at or under $1.45 into the close.
It closed at $1.41, up 57% from the $0.90 previous close. The regular session traded 2.07 million shares, more than the float.
After hours: $2.10, then $0.89
The 4:00 minute drifted down to $1.37 and 4:01 to $1.33. Then at 4:02 p.m. it jumped to $1.61 on 408,762 shares. It kept climbing and hit $2.10 at 4:28 p.m., the high of the day.
Then it sold off. It was $1.66 at 4:44, $1.26 at 5:06 and $1.14 at 5:45. At 6:32 p.m. it hit $0.89, down 58% from the high. By 8 p.m. it was back to $1.02.
After hours traded 18.04 million shares, more than ten times the float. The whole day came to 20.16 million.
What to take from it
- A quiet stock can change in one minute. VCIG traded between $0.88 and $1.06 for six hours, then went from $0.955 to $1.23 in the 3:45 p.m. minute.
- An ask wall that gets eaten fast can still leave the price close to the screen. Here a 5,000-share buy one second after the break cost $3 over the screen. Near $1.44 the same size cost $22.
- After hours can undo the day. It traded at $2.10 at 4:28 p.m. and at $0.89 by 6:32 p.m.
