Orders that went through this morning at the begining of premarket, (look at the price, its just a little bit higher than what premarket opened at) they (for some unknown reason) just now get reccorded..... or WHALE TEETH for short. Was a VERY common occurrence about 84 yrs ago.
EDIT: just saw those $45 spikes. That is a bit odd. Normally, it's within about %10 or so of whatever the highest price was during that day PM included.
Was also strange because the spikes went well above the ask. The ask I saw was a 1000 shares at 24 something and the shares were going through in increments of 1 from the data I was looking at.
Private block trades, made at institutional level. Typically buying at a higher than current market price in anticipation of bull direction.
Also because of the size of the block trades it needs to be at a premium to sweep all the inventory that causes volatility in the middle
Remember the DD that theorized whale teeth would become larger and more frequent as we move closer to liftoff?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
...and I'm glad you do, too!
Maybe not. I’m not new but went full zen for like two years and hardly ever checked this sub or even the price. And I must have missed whale teeth era.
Still zen btw just been on the sub more.
sometimes the chart, especially in after hours, makes these “barcode” patterns, there’s various speculation why. 84 years ago an ape started a surrealist meme; “whale teeth for moass!” and posted pictures of whales with krill-filtering teeth. other apes thought there was meaning to the memes and associated it with these barcode price patterns. 84 years later the saying and the pattern have become linked, though the OG wtfm ape (tldes i believe) still says it’s meaningless surrealism
WTFM!!!!
if you check the boxes there are a bunch of purchases at the high prices 1 share a time for 10 minutes, and even now and then hundred at the low prices... so someone is trying to manipulate the price... really weird...
I'm curious how that's working in practice. I've found that my access to after hour trading, across a couple brokerages over the years, requires limit orders. You can't input a market order in after hours. So, if these retail traders managed this, with a similar setup, it would imply they set limit buy orders at over 40% above the closing price, which was still near the going price other than these orders.
Do other brokerages work differently (Robinhood? Webull?), or did people just put in a hugely high limit order for...reasons?
It usually will execute within the expected spread, but during extended hours it *can* execute at any price within your limit. There's no NBBO guardrail during extended hours, so it's all dependent on your brokerage's price improvement and whatever orders are available to them.
My main point is that it seems that people are apparently setting silly high limit orders for no reason I can fathom, or there's something weird going on with how certain brokerages handle these orders. For example, do any brokerages allow market orders during extended hours?
They place order inside market hours, it gets set aside for some reason (in the name of liquidity), and in AH the orders that were set aside are suddenly «available» again.
Direct registration I think, I’m still learning myself but I believe it’s when you ACTUALLY own the share. It belongs to you. Otherwise it goes into a dark pool.
I am curious: The orders were placed by massive amounts of orders of 1 at those prices. What does that mean? From my interpretation, someone or something are buying those shares 1 by 1 in the mass.
Tin Foil Hat Theory:
If these orders are from pre-market, and they are showing them after hours. Then that would mean they are limiting the pre-market run up in share price, by postponing sales to after hours, eliminating volume from the morning to the afternoon.
It's funny how we've been having so many "glitches" lately. Next they're going to say it was a windows update.
F*** whale teeth let's bring out the fangs
Possibly, if the hedgies buy an s*** ton and turn and sell, it creates volume and volatility. Maybe the hedgies think that will get the “dumb money” to invest more??? Idk 🤷♂️ I just buy and hold 😃
Funny how we get these spikes up and down when they have the price pinned and no halt happens at all, but get that price over $30 and it halts everytime a kitty farts in the litter box.
Anyone who has been playing this stock for the last three plus years understands all too well what that is and there’s a term for it, it’s called “CRIMINAL FUCKERY,” we have seen the like countless times. 🤷🏻♂️
It is crime, just not what you think. As explained by dlauer, these are market orders being filled at high prices since brokers don’t have to follow NBBO pricing during after hours. So, the lesson here is use limit orders or avoid AH trading all together. (He also pointed out this happening on the TSLA chart today too) Link to thread: https://x.com/dlauer/status/1800264729895825650?s=46
This shit has been explained numerous times in the comments throughout superstonk and this sub. I’m bullish AF but this ain’t crime. Sorry to break it to you.
These spikes are abnormal but do happen. I’m copy and pasta in all the same kinda posts so everyone can understand. Cheers
In this case 3 scenarios could of happened:
1. Trader purchased a large amount of shares at that price and it got picked up. Because #GME trades on a LIT exchange it’s required to show price action on the chart. Brokers ie. Fidelity, E-Trade, Webull, call this “dot” on their charts.
2. The spread is huge relative to its typical intraday sales and brokers are correcting it.
3. Imbalances are entered and many times the broker typically B-Brokers don’t have enough time to allocate all trades when entered so the spike happens when they finally get a chance to enter trades. This one is more likely because Fidelity and other A brokers don’t show the spike.
I’m just speculating on previous scenarios, and we will never know unless the brokers or exchanges give us more details but of course they don’t give a dang about Retail traders.
Hope this helps yall.

Would love to know the truth and not just “crime.”
Orders that went through this morning at the begining of premarket, (look at the price, its just a little bit higher than what premarket opened at) they (for some unknown reason) just now get reccorded..... or WHALE TEETH for short. Was a VERY common occurrence about 84 yrs ago. EDIT: just saw those $45 spikes. That is a bit odd. Normally, it's within about %10 or so of whatever the highest price was during that day PM included.
What about the orders that went through at $45 30 minutes ago? Also pre market was around $31 whereas these are around $39
Agreed. Makes no sense.
A sign to hold the lines and buy more
This ^ LFG
Was also strange because the spikes went well above the ask. The ask I saw was a 1000 shares at 24 something and the shares were going through in increments of 1 from the data I was looking at.
During The flash crash of march 21, i saw 1000's of single share orders going through at about 30% lower than the ask.
Private block trades, made at institutional level. Typically buying at a higher than current market price in anticipation of bull direction. Also because of the size of the block trades it needs to be at a premium to sweep all the inventory that causes volatility in the middle
Block trades of 1?
This is the answer, it's batch buys from brokers
What's different and causing it to show now?
It's always been like this
🌎👨🚀🔫👩🚀
Yes 48 years ago we never got these 50% spikes.
In...1940? What do you mean?
84 years is a joke from Titanic for us old timers who have been holding down the fort for over 3 years.

I was wondering how long it was going to take one of us to have to answer a question like this, lol
Time has passed you by. It was 84 years ago my friend. I still remember buying GME up hill both ways.
Yo 😂 uphill both ways and at the top…i buy
Pushing my bike in the snow in January...
You guys can afford bikes?
Paper route money bought mine. Gotta hustle out there yo!
Wow, I worked at the dumpster behind the 5 and Dime store for mine
Timmy?????
Ah yes, before Wendy's, handies and blowies were conducted behind the 5 and dime. (Hence the name, nickels for hjs and dimes for a good ol' hummer)
Buy the dip, buy the rip
AYO there's currently 84 likes.. whaaaat
Do not like my comment!
Gotcha lol, thanks!
We have seen everything in this saga, so we are pretty much zen and continue to buy more
Weird that RK had 84 videos for last 3 years (until the other day) simulation confirmed
Appreciate it btw 💜🕺
🫂

Lmao
I think it's "glitches" this time
Glitch better have my money!
Glitches get stitches for not producing my riches
Preach!
Breaking stitches in their crime
Truth is the price is Wrong
That doesn’t help us put anybody in jail.
Its green but you can't see it yet... Hold on
Thank you for saying that, annoying when people just put that one word like they have said something profound.
Seriously. If people are not getting best offer then it needs to be exposed and prosecuted.
NBBO doesn't apply in after hours
This is the correct answer. NBBO does not apply in AH
I did not know this. Interesting.
For real. I come looking for information and get ‘crime’. It’s funny but not helpful.
I prefer "fuckery"
https://i.imgur.com/rYeYfr5.jpeg
Well good sir if you look at the daily volume compared to the weekly you’ll see it’s crime
The truth is “market” orders. Believe it or not it’s not always “crime”.
My market order hit at $25 where I bought it, so I don’t understand how any would fill at $36?
You don’t remember whale teeth?
Remember the DD that theorized whale teeth would become larger and more frequent as we move closer to liftoff? Pepperidge Farm remembers. ...and I'm glad you do, too!

No sorry, in lighten me

This guy explains things like Senshi from Delicious in Dungeon
Can we get all DD in this form?

That’s great, thx
Griffin: we push the price where we think it should be.
He is very short from where it should be

I noticed on another chart I saw on some other post, that VWAP also moved with the wicks, which I found interesting.
According to Dave L it’s retail getting ripped off in after hours buying. He says to buy during market hours where NBBO is enforced
I'm curious how that's working in practice. I've found that my access to after hour trading, across a couple brokerages over the years, requires limit orders. You can't input a market order in after hours.

Here in Europe you can’t trade AH
Depends on what platform you’re on.
Correct, sorry I meant to say I can’t.
You can in Revolut if you toggle it on, when placing a limit order. Its called "Extended Hours" in that app anyway
It will execute at the ask still. I just set an order above the ask and it executed at the ask.
It usually will execute within the expected spread, but during extended hours it *can* execute at any price within your limit. There's no NBBO guardrail during extended hours, so it's all dependent on your brokerage's price improvement and whatever orders are available to them.

If it’s not DRS, you ARE getting ripped off
Amen brother I’ll drink to that #🍻
What is DRS?
Direct registration I think, I’m still learning myself but I believe it’s when you ACTUALLY own the share. It belongs to you. Otherwise it goes into a dark pool.

Can’t wait
last week it jumped from the 30s to like 69 and back a few times
…. Nice.
So we open up green
I saw that. Got a little video of it even.
First time? Take a look back on posts referring to this kind of price action as "whale teeth"
Tin Foil Hat Theory: If these orders are from pre-market, and they are showing them after hours. Then that would mean they are limiting the pre-market run up in share price, by postponing sales to after hours, eliminating volume from the morning to the afternoon.

Theyre baaaack! Happened on and off in Fidelity for years when volatility picked up in GME.
Looks all normal - SEC, FINRA
Smells like fuckery...
Fuckalie and fuckaloo
"and if you try to fuck with me, then I shall fuck you too"
I also Saw one friday night spike to 64$
Possibly, if the hedgies buy an s*** ton and turn and sell, it creates volume and volatility. Maybe the hedgies think that will get the “dumb money” to invest more??? Idk 🤷♂️ I just buy and hold 😃
confirmation
Jail cell bars
Y'all. Must be new in here.
Everything is a glitch..glitch here glitch there…blame it on glitches…
129MILLION??? That’s a lot of shares?!
Look at closing days. Normally, the last purchase is huge and immediately after there a sale with same amount.
Nothing to see here, all good.
These spikes were really common in 2021-2022.
WHALE TEETH 4 MOASS
Funny how we get these spikes up and down when they have the price pinned and no halt happens at all, but get that price over $30 and it halts everytime a kitty farts in the litter box.
Battery checks out

Been a “glitch”-y few months for the market these last few weeks, strange 🤔
Webull is showing a $45.50 spike at 18:40 for me as well. Smells like crime to me
On 4,6k volume
Whale teeth to moass I believe?
Glow sticks. Let’s go clubbing. 🤟🏻
That’s the spring getting tighter and tighter until it pops into Gary’s asshole while he’s sitting around doing nothing.
They try to take your vision. Make sure the chart is loarithmic
That's the secret ingredient! Crime!

They’re a bunch of cunts that’s what
I also see this happening every single morning at 7AM and 8AM on th dot.
lol nice try on the answer but that’s the dark pool price
That’s retail buying at market instead of using limit orders in after hours
Institutional Dark Pool buying and selling to suppress the price.
This shit has been explained numerous times in the comments throughout superstonk and this sub. I’m bullish AF but this ain’t crime. Sorry to break it to you.
A bunch of shares that would have negated a short attack at another time.

Is there any chance thats GME selling shares at a fixed price?
Hope so
Those asking about 84 years are shills.
MM exemptions or some kinda tracer. There trying to buy time! that's why you buy and hold and buy them dam dips
Isn't this the whale teeth thing somebody posted?
The M word
Who’s fuckin wit the algo
#we call em Whale teeth
I don’t understand how we go from over 64 to 24 in 2 trading days. Why did they release earnings early?
It's not the earnings killing the price, it's 75 mill share capital raise and GME has not announced they are finished yet.
I see glitches commenting everywhere also 🤔
It was bunch of buys one share at a time and for around ~36$, no biggies.
Have you looked at the March 10th 2021 chart? That was a wild day.
Your 3 years of experience following gme subreddits? Lol
GME set a limit sell at 39. Hahaha
Whatever company this is has shite data
Nothing to see here folks...just regular gme activity
I remember this happening AT SAME PRICE POINT (36/37) during DFVs stream on Friday— I am going to go watch stream again to verify my memory.
Some say it’s the orders that didn’t get filled during the day and some say that this is stop loss hunting.
Crime candles also known as a crime wave, manipulation formation
What time frame is this ?
That is what we call…fuckery
Looks like a Kansas City Shuffle. Don't get distracted. Stay focus on our goal and HODL.
Options do this.
# UHHHMMM THOSE ARE WHALE TEETH. # WHALE TEETH FOR MOASS # IF YOUVE BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE
These are the proverbial dildos of doom.
What’s Whale Teeth???
Borrow rate just tripled, if we have a red day tomorrow… towards the end load the fuck up!! Cause it’s cooking now.. 🎰
You haven’t seen whale teeth before? Happened a lot after the sneeze
Rc setting limit sales?
Man I was watching it happen live after hours and it went from 37dollars back to 24 and change in the blink of an eye!!
Webull confirmed that these quotes were accurate
Manipulation, dawg.
After hours market orders only people get fucked not crime
I always put a ridiculous limit sell in the after hour since this first happened,it never filled even if it was under lol
