How it traded
Gap and go. It gapped up 18.2% to 4.94 at the open, ran from the open to the high of 5.75 in 47 minutes, and held most of the move into the close: it gave back 25% of it by 4:00 p.m.
| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 4:11 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 4.18 |
| 4:11 a.m. | Pre-market high, 5.04 |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 4.94, up 18.2% from the previous close |
| 10:17 a.m. | High of the day to the close, 5.75 |
| 10:18 a.m. | Halted: LULD pause (limit up-limit down). Trading resumes at 10:23 a.m. |
| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 5.55, 3.5% below the high |
| 5:39 p.m. | Volume since 4:00 a.m. passes the whole float, 720,888 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.
