| Time (ET) | What happened |
|---|---|
| 8:46 a.m. | Pre-market high, 6.87 |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 6.80, up 15.6% from the previous close |
| 9:31 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 5.88 |
| 10:38 a.m. | High of the day to the close, 8.92 |
| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 7.62, 14.6% 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.
