I wrote about this too a while ago, so some points might not be relevant to the chart today. Aside from panic sellers bashing the SP have the fundamentals of the company and future potential changed?
Cirralto Limited is a transaction services business that specialises in supplying industries with a broad range of B2B payment services, including digital trading software and integrated solutions. Their goal is to convert EFT payments (electronic fund transfer) to card payments utilising the BPSP engagement (direct debit) coupled with a payments collaboration framework.
Market size The digital payment solution market is valued at USD 37.9 Billion in 2018 and expected to reach USD 122.3 Billion By 2025 with the CAGR of 18.2% over the forecast period.The global enterprise data management market size is expected to grow from USD 77.9 billion in 2020 to USD 122.9 billion by 2025, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.5% during the forecast period.There are already a number of competitors in the space, however Cirrato has an established user based and with its current software offering I believe it can obtain a piece of the marketshare in the digital payment solution and data management space.

Synk’d enables businesses to connect applications together to remove repetitious data entry and automate information exchange.Marketing InitiativesAt this point I couldn't find any paid advertising in Facebook for either brands. Coming from a marketing background I believe it is imperative that a company invests in advertising utilising customer specific targeting. Please note, although they may not be running Facebook ads, they do have a marketing team (I confirmed this with their admin department) and may be implementing other customer specific targeting initiatives.

There are many reasons a stock suffers a significant pullback:
Pump and dump This is where investors holding the stock will flood forums and chat groups with 'pump' posts to get other investors to jump on board at an all time high to help propel the stock price further.
Cash out cycles There are cash out cycles each stock experiences in terms of forward price momentum, even if investors plan to hold the stock long-term, many will still cash out at certain points, taking their profit and leaving the capital in the stock. These cash out cycles generally occur once a stock hits a certain peak, and if it has rallied for a number of days in a row as experienced investors know it will suffer a pullback, or if it has only risen on hype alone, it may return to previous support levels which can be substantially lower than where it is at today.
Unsubstantiated Rise This happens due to a combination of a few factors, for example sometimes a stock will rise significantly on news, even if the news wasn't substantial due to investors pumping the stock; then the stock suffers a significant pullback as it can't substantiate the new price.It's only natural CRO is suffering a pullback as it is affected by a combination of all three points I mentioned above.
Buying a stock at a high and due to hype can equate to high gains, but you may also be left holding the bag. Hence why it's important to always do thorough research and ask yourself if you genuinely believe in the company based on the research you have conducted.If you genuinely believe in the company you can confidently hold through market fluctuations, however if you only bought on hype, and at an all time high you will need to develop an exit strategy.
