AHMA, September 10: a 5-minute halt, $2.14, and a wall at $1.90
AHMA opened up 11%, ran to $2.14 through one halt, then gave back most of the run by the close.
What happened
The 9:32 halt
AHMA closed at $1.28 the day before and opened at $1.42. The 9:31 minute ran it from $1.50 to $1.95. At 9:32:12 it was halted for five minutes.
Stop It's 9:37. AHMA has been halted since 9:32, after its last trade at $1.95, and the pause is about to end. Would you chase it when it reopens at $2.05?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 9:34 a.m. and stop at 9:37 a.m. ET for your call.
It hit $2.14 that minute, then ended the minute at $1.90. By 9:39 it was at $1.76.
The wall at $1.90
From 9:41 a seller offered stock at $1.90, peaking near 41K shares. The price sank under it, to $1.47 by 10:06.
Stop It's 10:27. AHMA is at $1.79 and has climbed from $1.63 over the last few minutes. An ask wall has been sitting at $1.90 since 9:41. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 10:24 a.m. and stop at 10:27 a.m. ET for your call.
Buyers ate the wall in about a second, at 10:27:57. The push stopped at $1.94 at 10:31, under the high.
It closed at $1.75. About 8.6M shares traded, roughly twice the float.
What to take from it: On this day the halt reopen printed the high, and every later push stopped lower.
