What to take from it
- A halt can reopen lower than it stopped. The 10:47 a.m. halt stopped at $2.25 and reopened at $2.02.
- Big spikes can reverse in a minute. $4.20 at 8:27 a.m. turned into $1.85 by 8:28, and the 4:01 a.m. $4.96 high was a $3.13 close for that minute.
- This reopen cost more than the screen showed. At 10:58:00 only 82 shares were offered at $2.08, and 5,000 shares averaged $2.17.

| Time (ET) | What happened | Watch it |
|---|---|---|
| 4:00 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 2.39 | |
| 4:01 a.m. | Pre-market high, 4.96 | |
| 4:01 a.m. | High of the day to the close, 4.96 | |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 2.14, down 10.5% from the previous close | |

| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 2.40, 51.6% 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.
