| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 6:07 a.m. | Pre-market high, 3.30 |
| 8:30 a.m. | News (Accesswire): DataMeds AI to be Featured In-Person on Fox Business' Claman Countdown to Introduce "Health Lives Here" |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 3.23, up 1.9% from the previous close |

| 3:49 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 2.87, 23.3% below the high |
| 3:50 p.m. | Halted: LULD pause (limit up-limit down). Trading resumes at 4:00 p.m. |
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.
