How it traded
Intraday run. It opened down 3.5% at 4.15, then ran from the open to the high of 4.70 in 304 minutes.
| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 4:00 a.m. | Pre-market high, 4.73 |
| 4:00 a.m. | High of the day to the close, 4.73 |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 4.15, down 3.5% from the previous close |
| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 4.49, 5.1% below the high |
| 5:34 p.m. | SEC filing PRER14A: PROXY SATEMENT |
| 6:10 p.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 4.30 |
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.
