How it traded

Intraday run. It opened down 16.8% at 1.09, then ran from the open to the high of 1.24 in 47 minutes.

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.
