How it traded
Gap, run and fade. It gapped up 32.9% to 2.06 at the open, ran from the open to the high of 2.40 in 100 minutes, then gave back 137% of that move by 4:00 p.m., trading at 1.94.
| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 4:00 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 1.55 |
| 7:16 a.m. | Pre-market high, 2.48 |
| 7:16 a.m. | High of the day to the close, 2.48 |
| 7:17 a.m. | Volume since 4:00 a.m. passes the whole float, 2.32 million shares |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 2.06, up 32.9% from the previous close |
| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 1.94, 22.0% 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.
