What happened
A flat, quiet session
On this day almost nothing traded in regular hours. It opened at $1.40, just above the $1.37 previous close. Then it sat between $1.35 and $1.38.
Stop It's 3:55. WAFU is at $1.37, the same as yesterday's close. After the $1.40 open it has stayed between $1.35 and $1.38, with long gaps between trades. Only about 3,950 shares have traded in the regular session so far, most of them in the first minute. There are five minutes left before the close. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 3:52 p.m. and stop at 3:55 p.m. ET for your call.
It closed at $1.39, up 1%, on just 4,600 shares in the regular session.
The 4:01 headline
The news came one minute after the close. A GlobeNewsWire headline said a Wah Fu AI project passed a Hangzhou review. That minute it touched $1.80. By 4:09, volume passed the whole 1.43M-share float.
Up to $3.25, then back
The climb came in jumps. At 4:11 it went from $2.11 to $2.88. In the 4:39 minute it hit $3.25, up 134% from the 4:00 price.
It did not hold. It was $2.45 by 5:00 and $1.74 at the last bar. After hours, 13M shares traded, about nine times the float.
What to take from it: A dead regular session can hide the day's real move after the bell.
