I see we caught the very move in question:

Why wasn't Running Down Now triggered as well? This alert is extremely sensitive to price movement. To make the alert a valuable one vs. a boy who cried wolf alert, we strike a balance betweem catching price action and avoiding bad prints. All this gets harder to balance on stocks like yours that have a 5-day range of 50 cents, that move only .06 cents every 15-minutes and that don't trade more than 4,700 shares/day.

I'm glad the other alerts caught the movement. Additionally another alert that you might use to catch early movement is the 1 minute volume spike. It's not directional but it will point you to something that's popping which might be of interest to you:
