KNRX, September 28: four eaten walls, 14 halts, and $1.60
KNRX opened near its previous close after an EFFECT notice, then ran to $1.60 through 14 halts during the session.
What happened
The $0.83 wall
An overnight EFFECT filing set it up. KNRX ran from $0.32 to $0.76 by 9:45. From 9:43, over 100K shares sat offered at $0.83.
Stop It's 9:51. KNRX is at $0.73. Stock has been offered at $0.83, just above, since 9:43. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 9:48 a.m. and stop at 9:51 a.m. ET for your call.
Buyers ate the wall. 170K shares traded at $0.83 in under 5 seconds.
Walls at $1.19 and $1.21
After seven halts it chopped between $0.81 and $1.17, under two walls of about 135K shares each.
Stop It's 11:44. KNRX is at $1.14. Stock has been offered at $1.19 and $1.21, just above, since 10:33. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 11:41 a.m. and stop at 11:44 a.m. ET for your call.
Both walls were eaten within a minute. This time the book above was deep, so a 5,000-share buy paid exactly the screen price.
Long halt, then $1.60
The 11:51 halt lasted almost two hours. It reopened at 1:45 p.m. 22% lower, at $0.95. Carve-out news came at 1:54 p.m., and it hit the $1.60 high at 2:01. It closed at $1.23.
What to take from it: A wall can vanish in seconds, and what you pay depends on how much stock sits above it.

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).
