How it traded
| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 7:18 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 3.36 |
| 7:20 a.m. | Pre-market high, 4.55 |
| 7:20 a.m. | High of the day to the close, 4.55 |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 3.10, down 7.7% from the previous close |
| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 2.24, 50.8% below the high |
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.
