Sellers ate it. 74K shares traded at $0.58 in 1.9 seconds, and the bid was gone. By 7:54 it was $0.53.
Pushes before the bell
Buyers came back. From $0.59 at 8:16 it ran to $0.96. A later push reached $0.98, then fell to $0.77.
Stop It's 8:35. YRD is at $0.9107, up from a $0.77 low in the minute before, and $1.00 is just above. Would you chase it here?

A 32K-share buy sweep hit at 8:35:19. It touched $1.00, the high of the day. Two minutes later it traded at $0.88. An offer of up to 82K shares then sat at $1.00, and it never traded there again.
The open and the fade
The run was over by the bell. It opened at $0.74 and slid to $0.5701 by midday. It closed at $0.65, 35% under the high.
What to take from it: A big bid is not a floor: the $0.58 bid was gone in under two seconds once sellers came.
