$LESL Yes and no.
The volume was too small (only ~300 shares).
The kicker is that no algo jumped in fast enough to sell the shares even though it was small.
I think this was an inadvertent spike and subsequent halt and the tell was no one or algo jumped in to short the stock at open.
This means that the algo or hedge funds or some fat kid in his basement know that if they short the stock and the stock pushes higher that they will fuel the short squeeze.
Based on this you might potentially see a gap up, premarket, probably within 2 weeks, post 4th of July.
