Gas Upper Trendline - Short Trade
Entry: $2.845
TP & RR: $2.693 (2.08)
Stop Loss: $2.918
REASONS FOR THE TRADE
After the breakout from the descending channel, we see the price sliding up an inclined trend line. However, the price is now reaching major resistance and I believe there will be a small pullback before potential continuation to the 1.618 Fib Level. The Market Flow indicator is also starting to revert, indicating weakness.
The entry is somewhat conservative since we give the price some more room to continue up before we enter the trade. Opening a position against the trend is rarely a smart idea. The Stop Loss is well above the trendline, which doesn't give us a great RR, but at least we will have more time to assess the price action and potentially close the position if things are not looking too good.

Update: Cancelling the order, as it's not developing as I was expecting. We missed the entry by 0.003, but depending on your exchange you may have been filled. In this case, you can either leave the position or close with a tiny profit (almost break-even).
My interpretation is that price is cooling off before another spike up and entering another channel. We may see divergence on the indicator before a setup reveals itself.

Comment:
Pretty much what I expected to happen in the update I described above. Good thing we closed the position. Of course, the price can still make a dive down, but for me, this trade no longer provides a good setup.

Those of you who stuck to the plan were rewarded for your patience and the stress you had to endure for the position going against you.
If I still had the position, I would just trial the SL and let the market determine my profits as this may go much further down than one would expect.
