What happened
Draft for review. Not published.
The 8:00 headline
The run started with an 8:00 a.m. deal headline. From a $2.17 prior close, it hit $3.92 at 9:36. Then ask walls built at $4.00 and $3.50, each near 100K shares.
The $3.40 wall
At 2:50 p.m. a third ask wall appeared, at $3.40.
Stop It's 3:10. VEEA is at $3.36. A wall at $3.40 has been on the book since 2:50 and peaked at 58,655 shares at 3:09, and larger walls have built up at $3.50 and $4.00. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 3:07 p.m. and stop at 3:10 p.m. ET for your call.
Buyers broke it fast. From 3:10:28, 59K shares traded at $3.40 in 7.7 seconds. The price only reached $3.49.
Two walls, one minute
Stop It's 3:26. VEEA is at $3.41. Ask walls sit above at $3.50 and at $4.00, both built up over hours. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 3:23 p.m. and stop at 3:26 p.m. ET for your call.
Both walls fell. A sweep at 3:26:02 cleared $3.50. At 3:26:20, 93K shares traded at $4.00 in under a second, and it hit $4.08, the day's high.
The high didn't hold. It closed at $3.47.
What to take from it: Walls that stood for hours broke in seconds, and fills right after cost more than the screen showed.
