I am ready to bang my head on the keyboard after this. I am trying to figure out if I missed something in the charts or is this just dumb luck?

 

I bought $CRC yesterday at 2.17 and today it gaped up at the open but I decided to hold and see what happens since I had a very small position of 300 shares. All morning this seemed to be fading down and finally into the 2.09s so I decided to sell once there was a tiny little spike after the the last dip  from 2.08 to 2.11. Within 10 minutes there was a spike to 2.28! I was waiting all morning for that! AGHHHHHHHHHH! 

I only took a $30 loss which was no biggy but still I can not figure out if I missed something here.
