CLRO, October 23: three halts, a pulled bid, and $4.69
CLRO opened near its previous close, then ran to $4.68 through three halts during the session.
What happened
Two reopens build the spike
The run came out of halts. It stopped at $2.76 at 9:47:35 and reopened at 10:02:26 at $3.20. A second halt at $3.88 ended at 10:13:47 with a reopen at $4.40. The $4.69 high came that minute.
The bid at $4.00 goes
Stop It's 10:16. CLRO is at $4.29. A bid wall at $4.00 has been on the book since 10:13 and peaked at 37K shares. The high was $4.69 three minutes ago. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 10:13 a.m. and stop at 10:16 a.m. ET for your call.
A 22K-share sell swept through at 10:16:39 and the wall was pulled at 10:16:40. By 10:19 it was at $3.26 and halted. An offer of up to 33K shares at $4.35 sat above it until 10:32:57, then vanished. By 10:37 CLRO had fallen to $2.76.
A lower high, then the close
After a quiet midday it pushed to $3.89 at 2:49 p.m., well under the morning high. It closed at $3.22, 31% under $4.69, on 9.19M shares against a float of about 1M.
What to take from it: A big bid under the price lasted about three minutes on CLRO, and the afternoon push in the regular session stopped at $3.89.
