Halt-by-Halt Summary

KXIN was the most-halted single name of the session, with three separate LULD volatility pauses between 10:13 AM and 10:24 AM ET, each lasting five minutes. WCT followed a similar pattern with three consecutive five-minute LULD pauses between 10:58 AM and 11:09 AM ET, and PSQL was paused twice — once mid-morning and again at 3:55 PM ET. All of these were mechanical volatility halts, not news or regulatory actions.

The day's other notable event was a cluster of ten T1 news-pending halts issued simultaneously at 7:50 PM ET, after the regular close: VBIO, VEEAW, CALC, GCTK, ARTL, CHGA, FTFT, OMH, NXL, and VEEA. T1 halts have no fixed duration, and all ten remained pending with no resumption time reported as of 9:45 PM ET. The morning's lone non-LULD, non-T1 event was BAK, halted under code T3 on NYSE at 9:03 AM ET and resumed at 9:46 AM ET. Days like this — with repeated volatility pauses in the same names — are exactly the kind traders review later when journaling their executions in a tool like TraderSync.

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 when the exchange determines an orderly market can be maintained.
