Halt-by-Halt Summary

LHSW was the most-halted name of the session, accumulating ten LULD volatility pauses between 9:30 AM and 3:40 PM ET — a pattern of repeated limit-up/limit-down triggers rather than a news or regulatory event. NUR followed with five LUDP halts in a roughly one-hour window mid-morning. Separately, seven names — ALP, RCAX, AVXX, CYCN, UCAR, IONZ, and RKLZ — were halted on code T1 (news pending) between 7:50 PM and 7:52 PM ET; all seven remain halted with no resumption time reported as of publication.

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.
