What happened
Draft for review. Not published.
Nothing, then a burst
It opened at $2.76 and then barely traded. Most minutes before 11:22 a.m. had no trades at all. Volume woke up at 11:22, and the 11:25 minute reached $3.00. No news was listed for the day.
A run to $5.25
The run came fast. At 11:34 it traded 439K shares and reached $4.40. The 11:36 minute alone traded 1.3M shares and closed at $5.15. The high of the day, $5.25, came at 11:37 a.m., and that minute closed at $4.61.
A halt and a lower reopen
The drop was nearly as fast, down to $3.58 by 11:39. A volatility pause began at 11:40:03 with the last trade at $3.58. It reopened at 11:50:03 at $3.32, about 7% lower, and hit $3.08 within the minute.
A lower high, then a fade
It bounced to $3.61 at 12:57 p.m., well under the $5.25 top. From there it drifted in a range around $3.25 and closed at $3.27, 38% under the high. Regular-session volume was 4.98M shares, against a 15M-share float.
