How it traded
| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 9:03 a.m. | Pre-market high, 2.33 |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 2.31, up 0.9% from the previous close |
| 9:58 a.m. | High of the day to the close, 2.41 |
| 3:57 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 2.30, 4.6% below the high |

| 6:59 p.m. | Volume since 4:00 a.m. passes the whole float, 1.22 million shares |
The shape is a fixed rule, not a judgement: gapped 10% or more at the open, ran 10% or more from the open to the high, and faded if it gave back 30% or more of that move by the close.
