How it traded
Intraday run. It opened down 8.0% at 1.04, then ran from the open to the high of 1.75 in 177 minutes through a halt.
| Time (ET) | What happened | Watch it |
|---|---|---|
| 9:25 a.m. | Pre-market high, 1.09 | |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 1.04, down 8.0% from the previous close | |
| 9:47 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 1.13 | |
| 9:54 a.m. | Halted: LULD pause (limit up-limit down). Trading resumes at 9:59 a.m. | |
| 12:27 p.m. | High of the day to the close, 1.75 | |
| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 1.37, 21.7% 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.
