What happened
Draft for review. Not published.
News and a slow open
A 7:50 a.m. private placement headline barely moved AGMH. It opened at $0.79 and sat near there until 10:10, when volume woke up. It crossed $1.00 at 10:31.
Two halts, one bid
The first halt came at 10:33, with a big bid sitting at $1.09.
Stop It's 10:38. AGMH has been halted since 10:33 and is about to reopen. The last trade was $1.09, and a large bid sits at $1.09. Would you buy the reopen?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 10:35 a.m. and stop at 10:38 a.m. ET for your call.
It reopened right at $1.09, and the bid was crossed a second later.
It ran to $1.27, then fell to $0.99 and halted again at 10:42:22. That halt reopened higher, at $1.11.
Stop It's 10:48. AGMH reopened from its second halt a minute ago and is at $1.22. It was at $0.99 six minutes ago. Would you chase it here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 10:45 a.m. and stop at 10:48 a.m. ET for your call.
It peaked at $1.42 at 10:53. Sellers hit it, and it was halted a third time at 10:55:08.
Lower highs, then the fade
After the reopen it stalled at $1.33, under the top. A fourth halt followed, and it never traded above $1.20 again.
It reached $0.66 by 12:34 and closed at $0.74.
What to take from it: Each push after the $1.42 top stopped lower, and by the close most of the run was gone.
