Halt-by-Halt Summary

AEHL was the most active halted name today, triggering six separate LULD volatility pauses between 10:07 AM and 10:41 AM ET, with each pause lasting approximately five minutes. The T1 news-pending halts on YYAI and PFSA, both issued at 7:50 PM ET, remain unresolved with no resumption times reported. The regulatory H11 halt on GPUS and GPUS-D, issued at 2:15 PM ET, also remains pending, indicating a regulatory or SEC action.

What Is an LULD Halt?

A LULD 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 when the exchange determines an orderly market can be maintained.
