What happened
News after the close
The news came late. At 9:06 p.m. on August 24, Autonomix announced a $4.9M warrant inducement priced above market. The stock had closed that day at $5.37.
The top came before dawn
This day's high came before the market opened. AMIX ran to $10.20 at 4:07 a.m., and the next push stopped lower, at $10.13. By 4:53 a.m. more shares had traded than the whole float.
It drifted down from there and opened at $7.61.
The bid at $8.00
Late in the day, one big bid sat under the price. From 3:08 p.m. it waited at exactly $8.00 and grew to about 41K shares.
Stop It's 3:25. AMIX is at $8.03. A large bid, tens of thousands of shares, has been sitting at $8.00 since 3:08. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 3:22 p.m. and stop at 3:25 p.m. ET for your call.
Here's what happened. At 3:26:08 p.m. the bid was pulled. Only 6,758 shares traded at $8.00 before it left. That minute fell to $7.79. The low after the open, $7.15, came at 3:58 p.m.
It closed at $7.21, 29% under the high.
What to take from it: A big bid is not a promise: when the $8.00 bid left, the price fell with it.
