How it traded
| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 4:00 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 1.87 |
| 8:24 a.m. | Pre-market high, 3.55 |
| 8:24 a.m. | High of the day to the close, 3.55 |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 0.6000, down 67.9% from the previous close |
| 9:30 a.m. | Volume since 4:00 a.m. passes the whole float, 35.85 million shares |
| 11:38 a.m. | Halted: LULD pause (limit up-limit down). Trading resumes at 11:43 a.m. |
| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 0.2076, 94.2% 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.
