What happened
The 8:15 headline
The first move after the 8:15 storage-project headline failed fast. TURB ran to $1.32, then fell to $0.83 by 8:18, below the $0.89 previous close.
The spike to $3.96
The real run came minutes later. By 8:32, more shares had traded than the whole 4.1M float. In the 8:33 minute it printed $3.96, the day's high.
The wall at $2.00
Sellers had stacked shares at $2.00 since before the open. The wall peaked at 117K shares, about 3% of the float.
Stop It's 10:12. TURB is at $1.99. Just above, more than 100,000 shares are offered at exactly $2.00. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 10:09 a.m. and stop at 10:12 a.m. ET for your call.
Buyers ate the wall in under a second, and it was not pulled. The stock touched $2.06, then fell to $1.49 within two minutes.
The halt and after
A 108K-share ask wall formed at $1.44, right where trading froze.
Stop It's 10:20. TURB was halted for five minutes at $1.44 and is about to reopen. A large ask wall of over 100,000 shares sits at $1.44. Would you buy the reopen?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 10:17 a.m. and stop at 10:20 a.m. ET for your call.
It reopened at 10:20:29 at $1.44, and the wall was eaten. By 10:24 it was at $1.30. It closed at $1.39, 65% under the high.
What to take from it: On TURB, every wall that broke led lower, not higher.

- In our recaps, this is the only day TURB met the small-cap rule.
On the day's lists: the 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).
