Halt-by-Halt Summary

ACLZ was the session's most active halt target, absorbing seven consecutive LULD volatility pauses from 10:45 AM through 12:27 PM ET — a cluster consistent with sustained price pressure against its limit-up/limit-down bands throughout the late-morning and midday window. CLRO accumulated six LUDP pauses spread across the full session, from 9:47 AM at the open through 1:47 PM; BMGL drew three consecutive LUDP halts in the 1:48–2:07 PM window, and MWHS triggered three volatility pauses between 2:58 PM and 3:39 PM. At 7:50 PM ET, after the close of the regular session, twelve tickers were simultaneously issued T1 news-pending halts; none had a reported resumption time as of 9:45 PM ET, and trading in all twelve remains halted pending material news disclosure.

What Is an LULD Halt?

A Limit Up-Limit Down halt pauses trading when a stock's price moves more than a defined percentage away from its recent five-minute average. The bands are 5% for most large-cap S&P 500 names, 10% for smaller stocks, and 20% for stocks under $3. Most LULD halts last five minutes.

What Does a T1 Halt Mean?

A T1 halt is a regulatory pause pending the release of material news. It has no fixed duration and resumes only when the exchange determines that an orderly market can be maintained following the news disclosure. T1 halts issued after regular-session hours often remain in effect until the next trading day's open.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I see today's trading halts?

Tapeboard publishes a daily trading-halt log at tapeboard.com, updated through the trading day with halt codes, timestamps, and resumption status. The full halt table for July 2, 2026 is on this page and includes all 50 halts recorded during the session. Historical halt logs for prior trading days are archived in the market-events section.

What is an LULD halt?

A Limit Up-Limit Down (LULD) halt pauses trading when a stock's price moves more than a set percentage band away from its five-minute average price. The bands are 5% for large-cap stocks, 10% for smaller names, and 20% for stocks priced under $3. The mechanism is designed to allow the market to absorb volatility; most LULD halts resolve within five minutes.

How long does a trading halt last?

LULD halts are typically five minutes; T1 news halts often run 30+ minutes; regulatory T12 halts can extend for days. Duration depends on the underlying cause: LULD halts end when the market reopens at a stable price, while T1 halts end when the issuer releases the pending news and the exchange authorizes resumption.
