Lyft Downside Wedge Break Weekly Options Play

Short

NASDAQ:LYFT   Lyft, Inc.
Description
Been watching this wedge in Lyft, and it caught my attention when it broke to the upside on 05NOV, trade here

The throwback into the pattern following the breakout increases my ease with this short position.

The trigger was a break and hold below 46, which occured yesterday.
Today LYFT went to retake the accumulation line but failed, leading to this starter short position.
I will look to add to this position on a decisive break away from the accumulation line of the wedge.
