The catalyst for the rally came from the company's presentation of LentiGlobin ( gene therapies for severe genetic and rare diseases and T cell-based immunotherapies) clinical data at 20th Congress of European Hematology Association. Believe or not, investors rallied the issue to $194 in premarket trading as the information was being disseminated. However, during the regular session, it immediately peaked at $186.50 (still way above its former all time high of ($169.88) and has gone straight down to as low as $170.96 and has not been able to distance itself from that level.
