What happened
A quiet filing
On this 1.35M-share float, the 8:01 8-K did little.
Stop It's 8:12. EDBL is at $2.35. An 8-K came out at 8:01, the stock ran to $2.51 and gave most of it back, and volume has dried up. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 8:09 a.m. and stop at 8:12 a.m. ET for your call.
News, then walls
The 8:13 headline lit it up: $3.92 by 8:17, before the bell. A 27K-share offer sat above at $4.17.
Stop It's 8:27. EDBL is at $3.58. The high so far is $3.92. A wall that peaked at 26,843 shares has been offered at $4.17 since 8:19. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 8:24 a.m. and stop at 8:27 a.m. ET for your call.

Late bid wall
By midday it was near $2.20.
Stop It's 3:31. EDBL is at $2.30. A bid wall of 53,511 shares, about 4% of the float, has been sitting at $2.28 since 3:30. Would you buy here?

On the day's lists: the pre-market gappers, 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).
