How it traded

Intraday run. It opened down 2.1% at 2.33, then ran from the open to the high of 3.50 in 21 minutes through a halt.

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.

• Volume, from the one-minute bars: 69,078 shares before the 9:30 a.m. open (19%), 192,037 in the first 30 minutes (54%), and 94,264 in the rest of the day to 8 p.m. (27%).
• The halt at 9:46 a.m.: up 20.8% in the 5 minutes into it, reopened at 3.20, unchanged from the last trade before it, then down 16.2% over the next 5 minutes.
