The morning run
JZ opened weak but ran fast. It opened at $1.04, 8% below the $1.13 close. In the 9:35 minute it cleared the $1.09 pre-market high. A buyer swept 27K shares at 9:47, and it touched $1.41 the next minute.
From $1.32 at 9:51 it ran to $1.57. At 9:54:38 it was halted with the last trade at $1.57.
Stop It's 9:59. JZ has been halted since 9:54 after its last trade at $1.57. It is about to reopen. Would you buy the reopen?

A lower reopen
The reopen came in below the halt price. At 9:59:38 one 71K-share print hit $1.52, 3% below $1.57.
In the 10:00 minute it fell to $1.29 on 242K shares. A 34K-share buy sweep pushed it to $1.65 at 10:02. By 10:09 it was back at $1.32.
Top and fade
The high came at midday. Two buy sweeps at 12:22 and 12:24 led to $1.75 at 12:27. Two minutes later it was $1.66. A 2:05 p.m. push stopped lower, at $1.61. Late in the day an ask wall of up to 83K shares sat at $1.75. It closed at $1.37, 22% below the high.
What to take from it: The halt reopened below where it stopped, and each later push topped out lower.
