Certainly an odd candle and bizarre trading day, but it's not a thinly traded stock ($1.2m shares on the day).  How exactly does this possible "manipulation" work?  Rumors just prior to the open that are quickly dispelled?  

    Would like to understand how a stock gaps down huge like this at the open, then IMMEDIATELY reverses course to gain 11% on the day.  What series of events creates that reaction?  News after the open?  Just trying to understand and hopefully never get caught in this type of reversal using proper stops.

    I don't like to call

    I don't like to call manipulation because it sounds like a rationalization.....however, here it is hard to think it was not.
