What to take from it

• A halt can reopen lower than it stopped, and the book is thin when it does. The 9:41 halt stopped at $1.55 and reopened at $1.30. A 5,000-share buy one second later averaged $121 over the screen.
• After the top, the next push stopped lower. $1.73 at 9:40 a.m., then $1.68 at 10:58. Walls at $1.55, $1.29 and $1.41 each showed up on the way down.
• Most of the move was gone by the close. It closed at $0.72, 58% below the $1.73 high.
