What to take from it

• A halt can reopen higher than it stopped, and the first seconds after cost more than the screen says. The third halt stopped at $5.58 and reopened at $6.41. A 5,000-share buy a second later averaged $6.42 against $6.23 on screen.
• After the top, the next push stopped lower. $6.86 in the 10:32 minute, then $6.50 at 10:34. The bid walls under the price were pulled within minutes.
• The move was gone by the afternoon. It closed at $3.76, 45% below the $6.86 high, after dipping under the previous close of $3.37.
