| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 5:17 a.m. | Pre-market high, 1.23 |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 1.24, down 3.1% from the previous close |
| 12:35 p.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 1.28 |
| 1:25 p.m. | High of the day to the close, 2.15 |

| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 1.64, 23.7% 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.
