A quiet start
There was no news on August 10, and WYHG has a small float of 6.96M shares. It opened at $5.29 and sank to $4.70 by 9:46. Then it crept back near $6.
Stop It's 10:44. WYHG is at $5.93, a little under the $6.34 pre-market high. It has been between about $5.50 and $6.00 since 10:32. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 10:41 a.m. and stop at 10:44 a.m. ET for your call.
Thirteen halts to $12.70
The run set off the first of 13 volatility halts at 10:45:43. Each early reopen came in higher than the last.
The 11:58:34 halt stopped at $10.70. It reopened at 12:09:41 at $12.19. It hit $12.70 that same minute.
After the 13th halt
The 13th halt reopened at 12:40:12 at $7.49, 41% below $12.70.
Stop It's 12:44. WYHG is at $8.25. It reopened at $7.49 at 12:40, well under the $12.70 top, and it has bounced since. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 12:41 p.m. and stop at 12:44 p.m. ET for your call.
The bounce stalled at $9.00 at 12:45, a lower high. Then it slid all afternoon. The 4:00 minute ended at $5.72.
What to take from it: A halt reopen can fill far from the screen price, and the push after the top stopped lower.
