Pre-market was almost empty. Only 181 shares traded before the bell. The pre-market high was $0.96 at 8:53 a.m. The open was $0.96, in line with the previous close.

A quiet morning, then the climb

For the first hour after the open, almost nothing happened. The stock sat near $0.99 to $1.00. At 10:23 it touched $1.00 on 2,603 shares.

Volume arrived at 10:33. By 10:40 it hit $1.28, up from $1.00 earlier in the morning. At 10:44 it reached $1.30. Then it fell fast. At 10:47 it dropped to $1.01 on 120,821 shares in one minute.

It rebuilt. At 11:07 it hit $1.38, then fell to $1.11 by the close of the 11:08 minute. A 19,973-share sell order swept from $1.32 to $1.26 across seven price levels at 11:08.

The wall at $1.45

The order book showed something the chart does not.

From 11:12 on, a large block of stock was offered at exactly $1.45, across all exchanges.

Here's what happened. The wall peaked at 61,182 shares at 11:20:34, about 0.8% of the float. At 11:20:42 the first trade printed at $1.45. In 17.5 seconds, 66,531 shares traded at exactly $1.45 and the wall was gone. It wasn't pulled. Buyers ate it. The high of that minute was $1.46.

Then the price fell. At 11:21 it hit $1.13, on 272,126 shares, the heaviest minute so far. The close of that minute was $1.23.

Walls on both sides

The next several minutes were about bid walls. Starting at 11:27 a buy wall sat at $1.23, then moved up to $1.25 (peak 142,941 shares at 11:29), then to $1.26 (peak 138,921 shares). At 11:32:43 a single 17,450-share trade printed at $1.26. Each wall was pulled and replaced a little higher. The last one disappeared at 11:35.

Overhead, a new ask wall formed at $1.41 at 11:36. It peaked at 58,559 shares at 11:41. It stayed until 12:56. At 11:39 the stock reached $1.41, and by 12:22 it was $1.22. At 12:56:10, 8,741 shares traded at $1.41, and a second later the wall was pulled. The price reached $1.45 that minute.

One halt

The move from 12:55 was fast. It went from $1.30 to $1.51 by 12:59. At 1:00 p.m. it was halted (a volatility pause) with the last trade at $1.72. It reopened at 1:05 p.m. at $1.84, 7% above where it stopped.

The reopen print was 61,029 shares at $1.84. The minute ran to $1.97 and closed there. An 18,705-share sell swept down from $1.82 to $1.76 a second after the reopen.

It hit $2.00 at 1:07, then fell to $1.52 at 1:10. It came back. At 1:13 it hit $2.05, the high of the day, and it touched $2.05 again at 1:14 and 1:15. Two buy sweeps pushed it up: 23,566 shares from $1.89 to $1.92, then 39,732 shares from $1.99 to $2.05. Four seconds later a 17,762-share sell swept from $2.05 to $1.98.

By 1:17 p.m., more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (7.80 million).

The rest of the day

It pushed higher again. At 1:20 p.m. it reached $1.89, a lower high under the $2.05 top. Then it faded: $1.41 at 1:28 p.m., $1.37 at 1:32 p.m., and $1.26 at 1:58 p.m. It spent the afternoon between about $1.30 and $1.50 and closed at $1.45.

By the close, 11.77 million shares had traded: the float changed hands about 1.5 times, at 171 times its normal volume.

After hours it rose to $1.89 at 5:24 p.m. and then slid to $1.33 by 6:12 p.m. After-hours volume was 1.27 million shares.

What to take from it

• A big ask wall can break fast. The $1.45 wall took 17.5 seconds to eat, and the price fell back within the minute.
• After the top, the later pushes stopped lower. $2.05 at 1:13, 1:14 and 1:15 p.m., then $1.91 at 1:16 and $1.89 at 1:20 p.m.
• Most of the afternoon move was gone by the close. It closed at $1.45, 29% below the $2.05 high.
