TL;DR: As of 9:45 PM ET on October 12, 2026, Tapeboard tracked 95 trading halts during the session. The most recent halt was FMFC, halted at 7:50 PM ET with reason "News pending" (T1).

On October 12, 2026, U.S. exchanges issued 95 trading halts: 91 LULD/volatility halts, 2 T1 news-pending halts, and 2 other regulatory halts. The most newsworthy was YRD, which was halted on the NYSE at 10:33 AM ET under a T1 halt pending the release of material news; as of publication, no resumption had been reported. The bulk of the day's activity was LULD halt volume concentrated in a handful of small-cap names — WFF alone triggered a circuit breaker dozens of times between the morning and the close, and GIXI, ALISU, BKHA, RIBBU, and FVNNU each saw repeated volatility pauses. Traders reviewing a session like this in a journal — Tapeboard is often compared against tools like TraderVue for exactly this kind of post-session review — will notice the halts clustered heavily around a few low-float tickers rather than spreading across the tape.

Halt-by-Halt Summary

The day's two T1 halts were YRD (NYSE, 10:33 AM ET) and FMFC (NASDAQ, 7:50 PM ET), both paused pending the release of material news; neither had a reported resumption time as of publication. The remaining regulatory halts were a pair of simultaneous T3 halts in IONQ (NYSE) and IONC (BX Venture) at 7:51 AM ET, both of which resumed within roughly 20–25 minutes. Everything else was volatility-driven: WFF accounted for the largest share of LULD pauses by a wide margin, with repeat five-minute circuit breakers from 9:38 AM through 3:49 PM ET, while GIXI, ALISU, RIBBU, FVNNU, BKHA, and PSIG each halted multiple times.

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 ahead of material news release
T2	News released	Pause while news is disseminated and absorbed
T12	Additional information requested	Halted pending further information from the issuer
M / LUDP	LULD volatility halt	Limit up-limit down circuit breaker pause
H10 / H11	Regulatory / SEC	Halt imposed by the SEC or exchange for regulatory reasons
T6	Extraordinary market activity	Pause during unusual market-wide or security-specific activity

Data and Methodology

Halt records are sourced from Tapeboard's real-time regulatory halt feed, built on NYSE and NASDAQ exchange halt notifications consistent with FINRA and SEC halt-code definitions; publication may lag actual events by several minutes. Resumption times are shown only when reported by the feed and are otherwise marked pending. A halted name often appears on the short-squeeze candidates board or the highest borrow-fee list.
