What happened
Draft for review. Not published.
A wall before dawn
Pre-market, the offers dwarfed the trading. At 4:01 a.m., 29K shares sat offered at $1.25. Only 5K shares traded before the open. The wall was pulled at 4:54:29, and new walls showed up at $1.44 and $1.46.
A slow slide
The session was quiet. It opened at $1.18, under the $1.19 previous close, and drifted lower on thin trading.
Stop It's 3:55. The stock is $1.17, below the $1.19 previous close and the $1.18 open. It has slid slowly since 3:20, when it was $1.18. At 3:52 it printed $1.16 on about 2,200 shares, and now it is back at $1.17. Trading has been thin all day. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 3:52 p.m. and stop at 3:55 p.m. ET for your call.
It dipped just under $1.15 in the last minute and closed at $1.15. Only 26K shares traded all session.
The 4:10 headline
Ten minutes after the close, the company said it had cancelled a $5.94 million financing tranche and all its warrants. That minute it ran from $1.18 to $1.55 on 301K shares. It chopped, then hit $2.19 at 6:11 p.m. and ended there, up 90%.
What to take from it: A dead session can hide the real move until the news hits.
