• From news to the move: the first trade 20% above the previous close came less than a minute after the latest news item before it (GlobeNewsWire, 8:30 a.m.).
• Volume, from the one-minute bars: 6.63 million shares before the 9:30 a.m. open (82%), 570,899 in the first 30 minutes (7%), and 840,251 in the rest of the day to 8 p.m. (10%).
• In our recaps, this is the only day NTCL met the small-cap rule.

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).

The exchange's halt feed shows no halts for NTCL that day.

Halt bands that day: the LULD plan's Amendment 18 rules (what that means, LULD calculator).
