Intraday run. It opened down 4.4% at 1.51, then ran from the open to the high of 2.15 in 195 minutes.
| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 12:15 a.m. | SEC filing EFFECT: |
| 8:45 a.m. | News (GlobeNewsWire): Wearable Devices Receives China Patent Allowance for Pressure-Based Gesture Control |
| 8:51 a.m. | Pre-market high, 1.84 |
| 9:24 a.m. | SEC filing 6-K: REPORT OF FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 1.51, down 4.4% from the previous close |
| 12:43 p.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 1.58 |
| 12:45 p.m. | High of the day to the close, 2.15 |

| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 1.62, 24.7% 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.
