Trading activity on October 22, 2026 was punctuated by 49 halts across NYSE, NASDAQ, and other venues: 41 LULD/volatility pauses, 4 T1 news-pending halts, and 4 other regulatory halts. The day's most newsworthy halt came when NIVF triggered a circuit breaker and was placed on a T1 halt for news pending, making it the name most likely to drive "why was {TICKER} halted today" questions. A LULD halt is triggered when price moves beyond defined bands away from a short-term average, while a T1 halt pauses trading pending material news. For traders reviewing today's price action, keeping a trade journal can help separate normal volatility from genuine news-driven pauses; TradeZella offers journaling tools built for that purpose.

Halt-by-Halt Summary
The most notable halt of the day was NIVF, which entered a T1 halt for news pending at 7:50 PM ET and remained halted at the close of this log. Earlier in the session, TANH experienced repeated LULD halts on NASDAQ, reflecting sustained volatility rather than a news-driven regulatory event.
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 | Regulatory pause pending the release of material news |
| T2 | News released | Pause following news release to allow order absorption |
| T12 | Additional information requested | Regulatory halt while the exchange requests more information |
| M / LUDP | LULD volatility halt | Limit Up-Limit Down pause triggered by price bands |
| H10 / H11 | Regulatory / SEC | Regulatory halt involving SEC or exchange action |
| T6 | Extraordinary market activity | Halt due to extraordinary market conditions |
