| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 9:14 a.m. | Pre-market high, 9.29 |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 8.10, up 2.9% from the previous close |
| 10:53 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 7.87 |

| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 9.06, 7.6% 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.
