| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 5:50 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 1.79 |
| 5:52 a.m. | Pre-market high, 2.35 |

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.
