Important pre-market levels looked like 54.00 and 54.50. Bought after a pop and a pullback to 54.50; sold half near the highs, and stopped out on a huge (and instantaneous) downtick. Thought that might just be a fluke, so bought again with a stop just under that downtick price - ended up stopping out entire position, quite a beating. Traded in a range after that, looking for a place to re-enter.

Seemed to be knocking out a range between 54.20 and 54.45, so bought near the bottom of that range. Ended up stopping out when it broke below .20. Rebought on a downtick near 54.00; sold half of that into the immediate pop, held remainder with stop below 54.00. Sold remainder just after touching 54.70, as I thought it likely that we'd possibly fail, and more probably pull back before breaking to new highs.

It came back down to 54.00 later around 10:35; I didn't like it, as it seemed to trade down there on increasing volume...but in hindsight, that level held, and would have been a great place to get long again.
