Draft for review. Not published.
The headline
On this day an 8:00 a.m. headline about an AI computing unit woke the stock up. It had closed at $0.81 the day before.
It ran in waves before the bell and topped at $1.30 at 9:08 a.m., up 60%. About 18M shares traded before the open.
The bid at $1.18
After the open, big bids stacked under the price. A bid at $1.18 reached 130K shares at 9:34. A push to $1.26 at 9:35 stopped below the $1.30 top.
Stop It's 9:36. LHAI is at $1.22 after a push to $1.26 a minute ago. A large bid that reached 130,244 shares at 9:34 sits at $1.18, just below. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 9:33 a.m. and stop at 9:36 a.m. ET for your call.
From 9:36:39, 66K shares traded at $1.18 in four seconds, and the bid was gone. A bid at $1.15 went two minutes later.
The bid at $1.10
It touched $1.25 twice, then drifted down to $1.10 by 10:48.
Stop It's 10:49. LHAI is at $1.10, down from $1.25 at 10:10. A large bid sits at exactly $1.10, with another one at $1.06 below it. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 10:46 a.m. and stop at 10:49 a.m. ET for your call.
At 10:49:03 the $1.10 bid was eaten within a second. The $1.06 bid fell next. A 269K-share sell sweep then hit $1.00, and the low was $0.96 at 11:04. It ended the session near $1.09.
What to take from it: Big bids under the price were not a floor here; each one was traded through in seconds.

On the day's lists: the intraday runners. It is here because it was in play on the intraday runners: up 30% or more on $3 million or more really traded, outside the small-cap rule's price, relative volume or float, its high reached $1 or more and it started the day at $20 or under (the rule every page uses).
