Halt-by-Halt Summary
The most notable events of the day are the nine T1 news-pending halts issued simultaneously at 7:50 PM ET in NIVF (and NIVFW), NXGL (and NXGLW), MDCX (and MDCXW), DFLI (and DFLIW), and ZBAO. These are regulatory halts pending the release of material news, and all remained pending resumption at publication time. The session's other 63 halts were volatility-driven: WFF was halted ten separate times under LUDP, QETA nine times, and ZYBT five times, indicating sustained intraday price swings that repeatedly breached limit-up/limit-down bands.
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.
Halt Code Reference
| Code | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | News pending | Trading paused pending release of material news |
| T2 | News released | Pause while news is disseminated and absorbed |
| T12 | Additional information requested | Halted pending additional information from the company |
| M / LUDP | LULD volatility halt | Price moved outside limit-up/limit-down bands |
| H10 / H11 | Regulatory / SEC | Regulatory or SEC-initiated trading suspension |
