For a stock that is destined for +3.50 you have to ask why is so much time and expertise spent manipulating or suppressing sp a mere penny or two when there is a quick 100% near term gain up for grabs. Answer: because the stock is being acquired by pros who know with a small public float and high levels of interest any show of serious or sustained interest/buying will very quickly drive sp back to the 52 week high and beyond. Failing a disciplined approach it would take little more than a session or two to get there because the pressure in the pipe is substantial. The technical strategy is to end as many sessions as possible with a sell signal. If you are into charts and graphs the Candlestick chart will provide an informative illustration however this is so falling down simple that your best approach is to JUST BUY and wait the pros out. Getting in before they have their mits full is the only way to join the party.
