A thin day

Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 3:48 p.m. and stop at 3:51 p.m. ET for your call.
Here's what happened. The last regular print was $4.73. Only 19K shares traded all session, about 1% of the float.
Earnings after the bell
The news came after the close: second-quarter results at 4:15 p.m. At 4:47 it spiked to $6.96, the day's high, on 31K shares in one minute.
By 5:08 it was at $4.45, the low of the day, 36% below the high. It ended the evening near $5.70.
