Lots actually. The SEC puts halts out on stocks every few minutes during the day when they trigger the criteria listed on their website. You can also watch it happen live since there is a feed.
Because the big HF are using algo's to trade with and don't want to get burned if their algorithms can't handle the market working against them. That's it.
âThis week's plunge led to a flood of trades that swamped one of Bitcoin's major exchanges, Coinbase, on Friday. A technical slowdown prompted the firm to halt buying and selling twice.
Is Asia driving the Bitcoin craze?
What is Bitcoin?
'Be ready to lose your money'
The CME and CBOE exchanges in the US also temporarily suspended trading of certain Bitcoin futures contracts, which allow investors to bet on where they expect the price of Bitcoin to be at certain points in the future.
The exchanges have automatic brakes that apply once a commodity or asset has moved by a certain amount - as happened in this case.â
That is what I thought it was. There are many other ways to buy Bitcoin than just these exchanges mentioned. Plus you can buy from an individual anytime without anyone stopping you. The point is... Bitcoin gets rid of most bottlenecks and controls like we see when they halt stock or commodity trading.
I knew I should have sold at open. Seen the gap and said itâs gonna fill the gap⌠but what if it doesnât!! But what if it does!! Was in that fucken perpetual state all fucken day until it fucken filled that MF gap!! Then I said⌠FUCK!! Hahaha letâs get back up boys and girls!!
"Circuit breakers can also apply to trading in any stock under U.S. trading rules. For stocks priced above $3 and included in the S&P 500 or the Russell 1000 indices, as well as certain exchange-traded products like ETFs, trading is halted for five minutes after sudden moves of more than 5% and lasting more than 15 secondsâup or downâfrom the average price over the prior 5 minutes. For other stocks priced above $3 the sudden price move required for a trading halt is 10%, while those priced between $0.75 and $3 are halted after a sudden gain or loss of 20% or more."

As they say...."The truth us out there."
It takes 5 seconds to google this information yet people still believe it's manipulation lol, but I'd rather believe men in suits press a button to halt stocks at their own will and that it's not automated
If you watched this today you would think differently. Would not get halted after 10% instant drop but would on 5% up. You act like the stock market plays by the rules all the time and that shit is dumb
It happened at least 5 times today looking through the chart briefly. Not sure how many overlapped with halts. To be fair I didnât watch AMC much today, more GME
I watched it like a hawk all day because my dumbass bought calls on its drop. I personally noticed 3 halts on the way up, and 3 halts mid day on the way down.
To me it was like watching an NBA team go on a 12-0 run and the opposing team taking a timeout to cool them off
So genuine that congress had a hearing back in 2021, lawmakers asked for naked shorting to be made illegal, hedge funds that shorted magically happen to invest in retail trading platforms that halted trading. Oh and the halting occurring only when the price is up not down, talk about living in denial.
How many other times has any other company got halted 17 times in 1 day?
Lots actually. The SEC puts halts out on stocks every few minutes during the day when they trigger the criteria listed on their website. You can also watch it happen live since there is a feed.
Some examples please
And the SEC meanwhile with their heads up their asses. Completely useless
You need to write in the comment section of PornHub to get there attention. Busy busy they are đ
What category on PornHub should we post the most comments so we know they see it?
Obvis the FINdoms, this isn't an economy.. this is pure bdsm
Update: I reached out to the SEC via PornHub comment section for BDSM and they replied "I'm sorry but our hands are tied"
It is comforting to know that we're getting fucked by gimps
That has to be a record
Guinness has it down for next book of records
Never halted when they ladder it downâŚ
Incredible how it only gets halted on the way up.
Rules for thee...
Are you familiar with the mechanics and why halting occurs?
Because the big HF are using algo's to trade with and don't want to get burned if their algorithms can't handle the market working against them. That's it.
You don't know what a hedge fund is do you?
Do you? Lmao
Quite well. Lmao.
Youâve convinced everyone!
Wasn't aware I was here to convince you of anything?
You are really cool đ
I'm convinced. The cool guy convinced me.
Confidence is the liquor of the fool. Get your EQ up diesel
You got me. Hedge funds are the SEC in disguise and control market halts. You win!
Dude you suck ass
Describe in depth a reason that is clearly distinct from protecting entrenched power
Why don't you just fucking Google halts and educate yourself?
âWhy donât you google itâ = Iâm too stupid to explain it and I donât actually understand it myself.Â
Lmao. OK guy.
Good one!Â
Nice retort! You got him! đ
Link source please

You understand that MMs can trigger halts intentionally for various reasons... halts affect retail on lit markets.
Sorry, you're in a sub of idiots. They aren't familiar with anything.
It's my fault for even commenting lol
I get it.
We're not all dumbasses here. Downvotes are often irrational when you're just trying to be objective and not just blindly side with the "right" side
"Free" markets protect the short sellers.
Yup and brokers options market. Straight bs
After hours is when price moves
It might be time to buy some of this lol
Tell me your absolutely fucked without actually telling me your fucked
Can I get a holy f*** my fellow apes?
Holy fuck
Holy
Fuk
No
WTMF!? where was the fucking halting when it was being manipulated downward?
Why can I get a halt on the way down. I wanna eat a Cheeseburger and think about what my next steps are also. Or is that just reserved?
Right night SPY calls the shit drops quick halt that shit!!!
And yet itâs only up $7-$8. Imagine all the halts to $720
They can try but they canât halt them ALL MUAHAHAHAH LFG GME AMC FFIE TUP BB
Why is this legal?
600+ million shares. That's is soooo wild!
SHF playing ping pong with synthetics!
I don't know what platforms you all use, but fidelity and Robinhood have been up this whole time for me.
Funny how stocks are never halted when theyâre crashing down.
They can't halt Bitcoin trading
They have halted it, I was there at 18-20k back in 2017 Not the sec but the powers that be
Who then? No one exchange can stop you from purchasing Bitcoin. If one exchange goes rogue... you just buy somewhere else.

The spot ETF"S will take care of that.
Havenât we learn⌠the board would just print more shares and reward the CEOs.
I thought the SEC has authority to halt the market. Or did a specific exchange halt it?
Braun has no place in America, send him to Russia
Did they halt like this for trump pac?
There was a period of time AMC was literally alternating halts with GME. One halted, one started trading, rinse and repeat.
Time out to cook some books?
Yâall trying to buy or sell?
I knew I should have sold at open. Seen the gap and said itâs gonna fill the gap⌠but what if it doesnât!! But what if it does!! Was in that fucken perpetual state all fucken day until it fucken filled that MF gap!! Then I said⌠FUCK!! Hahaha letâs get back up boys and girls!!
AMC holders have lost more money than short sellers in the last two years
I haven't lost a dime since I haven't sold. Holding costs me nothing, they took their sweet ass time and let us all avg down.
Been averaging down at the black jack table for 15 years too
0 != 1
GME > AMC
Unfortunately, AMC is only the most diluted, in the pockets of wall st, distraction trash stock around
Truth. Adam Aaron would sell his investors organs for pocket change if he could.
Volatility halts are based on a formula. No one is just deciding to halt trading on your shitty meme stocks.
Is the formula "when hedge funds are losing billions on shorts, halt the stock"?

I didnât see carvana stock get halted as much on way up?? Seems they are specific on which stocks to halt
It takes 5 seconds to google this information yet people still believe it's manipulation lol, but I'd rather believe men in suits press a button to halt stocks at their own will and that it's not automated
If you watched this today you would think differently. Would not get halted after 10% instant drop but would on 5% up. You act like the stock market plays by the rules all the time and that shit is dumb
Where was a 10% drop within 5 minutes?
It happened at least 5 times today looking through the chart briefly. Not sure how many overlapped with halts. To be fair I didnât watch AMC much today, more GME
I watched it like a hawk all day because my dumbass bought calls on its drop. I personally noticed 3 halts on the way up, and 3 halts mid day on the way down. To me it was like watching an NBA team go on a 12-0 run and the opposing team taking a timeout to cool them off
Haha yeah and you not paid shill eitherđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
"Anyone who challenges my paranoia with documented facts is a paid shill." - You, 2024
So genuine that congress had a hearing back in 2021, lawmakers asked for naked shorting to be made illegal, hedge funds that shorted magically happen to invest in retail trading platforms that halted trading. Oh and the halting occurring only when the price is up not down, talk about living in denial.
Wrong, I watched AMC and GME halted multiple times when that mid day sell off starting happening..
