What to take from it

• A halt reopen can be thin or deep, and you can't tell which from the price alone. On this day a 5,000-share buy cost $6,203 over the screen at the 11:12 reopen and $0 over at the 11:17 reopen.
• A halt can reopen far from where it stopped. The 11:58 halt stopped at $10.70 and reopened at $12.19, and the day's high came in that same minute.
• After the top, the next push stopped lower. $12.70 at 12:09 p.m., then $9.00 at 12:45 p.m. By 3:59 p.m. it was at $5.60, 56% below the high.
