Pre-market: quiet, up to $2.20
The first trades on the 13th were at $1.92, below the $2.05 previous close. Through the pre-market it mostly traded around $2.01 to $2.13.
The pre-market high was $2.20 at 9:26 a.m. Only 13,458 shares traded before the bell, in a stock with a float of about 1.56 million.
The open and the first halt
It opened at $2.19, up 7% from the previous close. For the first few minutes it went nowhere and traded between $2.10 and $2.19.
At 9:37 it broke out. That minute went from $2.25 to $2.55, clearing the pre-market high of $2.20. By 9:42 it had traded through $3.00 for the first time, and volume was by then over 100,000 shares a minute.
At 9:46 it was halted (a volatility pause) with the last trade at $3.95. The halt lasted about 32 minutes.
The reopen at $5.20
It reopened at 10:18 at $5.20, 32% above where it stopped. A single print of 115,450 shares went through at $5.20 at the reopen. In the first minute it ran to $6.24, up 20% from the reopen.
At 10:19 it was halted again with the last trade at $6.24.
It reopened at 10:24 at $4.74, 24% below where it stopped. The low of that minute was $3.95, down 37% from $6.24. By the end of that minute more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (1.56 million).
Stop It's 10:26. FLYE is at $5.55. It came back from $3.95 two minutes ago after reopening from its second halt. Would you buy here?

Press play: the real Level 2, time and sales and chart stop at 11:51 a.m. ET for your call, then show what happened. The clip starts at 11:48 a.m. ET.
Here's what happened. At 11:51:28 trading at $3.74 began. In 5 seconds, 34,387 shares traded at exactly $3.74 and the bid was gone. It wasn't pulled. It was traded through. Within seven minutes the stock was at $3.06.
The rest of the day
It kept fading: $3.06 at 11:58, then a range between about $3.19 and $4.40. There was a brief push to $4.40 at 1:02 p.m. It closed at $3.62.
By the close, 9.70 million shares had traded: the float changed hands about 6 times, at about 4 times its normal volume.
What to take from it
- A halt can reopen higher or lower than it stopped. The 9:46 halt stopped at $3.95 and reopened at $5.20. The 10:19 halt stopped at $6.24 and reopened at $4.74.
- The seconds after a reopen cost more than the screen says. A 5,000-share buy at 10:24:05 averaged $2,260 over the $4.49 on screen, because only 206 shares were offered.
- A big bid is a level, not a floor. The $3.74 bid held for more than an hour and then broke in five seconds.

How it traded
Intraday run. It opened up 6.8% at 2.19, then ran from the open to the high of 6.31 in 57 minutes through two halts.
| Time (ET) | What happened | Watch it |
|---|---|---|
| 9:26 a.m. | Pre-market high, 2.20 | |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 2.19, up 6.8% from the previous close | |
| 9:37 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 2.05 | |
| 9:46 a.m. | Halted: LULD pause (limit up-limit down). Trading resumes at 10:18 a.m. | |
| 10:19 a.m. | Halted: LULD pause (limit up-limit down). Trading resumes at 10:24 a.m. | |
| 10:24 a.m. | Volume since 4:00 a.m. passes the whole float, 1.56 million shares | |
| 10:27 a.m. | High of the day to the close, 6.31 | |
| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 3.62, 42.6% 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.
