JNPR Trips Circuit Breaker While Executing One Of The More Orderly Trade Matching Processes We've Seen

At 15:18:00 EST Juniper Networks spikes from $19.73.  At 15:22 the news hit ToS stations that Juniper beat revenue expectations.  The computers drove it up nearly 10% and as the news started to hit regarding the heavy price swing and major volume, a feed back loop was created.  From 15:36 to 15:48 nothing happened as the stock was halted  At 15:46 an algo sequence drove JNPR down 5% once trading resumed.  A slew of Nanex charts awaits you at the end of this post.

You will after the chart and news image that I ordered the quote tables to show the whole period.
