How it traded
| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 7:00 a.m. | Pre-market high, 11.37 |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 11.38, up 2.2% from the previous close |
| 3:06 p.m. | High of the day to the close, 12.51 |
| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 11.40, 8.9% 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.
