How it traded
Intraday run. It opened up 0.6% at 0.8945, then ran from the open to the high of 1.07 in 180 minutes.
| Time (ET) | What happened | Watch it |
|---|---|---|
| 7:49 a.m. | Pre-market high, 0.9100 | |
| 9:30 a.m. | The open: 0.8945, up 0.6% from the previous close | |
| 12:30 p.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 0.8893 | |
| 12:30 p.m. | High of the day to the close, 1.07 | |
| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 1.01, 5.6% below the high | |
| 4:39 p.m. | Volume since 4:00 a.m. passes the whole float, 7.82 million shares |
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.
