|---|---|
| 8:00 a.m. | News (Business Wire): UNIFI®, Makers of REPREVE®, Announces an Agreement to Sell Non-Strategic Real Estate in the U.S., with $60 Million of Expected Gross Proceeds to Deleverage and Transform the Balance Sheet |
| 8:03 a.m. | SEC filing 8-K: 8-K |

| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 7.00, up 8.5% from the previous close |
| 2:07 p.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 6.45 |

| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 8.03, 0.2% 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.
