Short Opportunity - Rising Channel looking to fail

Short

Hi All,

It has been some time since I have posted a public analysis.

We are currently at resistance at the 7250 region. Difficulty breaking this does not bode well as the next order block has proven to be historically a stronger resistance. There are two primary trend lines that im looking to have respected. We could see a retrace to that 8K region however this seems unlikely.

We already tried to break the channel downwards once, the movement back in likely liquidated shorts. I believe this current minor pump to be a standard Bull trap.

Histogram and MACD weakening.

Volume is very low.

20,50 and 200 MA's are hugging their respective trend lines. Doesn't look promising for a break to the upside.

Lastly, we are looking to break to the downside of the rising channel a classic reversal pattern as well as the Ichimoku cloud.

Short entry @ 7149, Target @ 5671 (Next order block leg down).
Stop @ 7480. Can widen this if you please above 7520 region.

Thanks guys, leave a comment and let me know your thoughts,

4 Hours till daily close. If we finish under, at the time of writing this its looking like we are heading down.
Comment:
Clear break happened, we have come up for the retest. If this trade is to be validated we should see it dump in the coming days. Volume is very low.
