*Idea: FF at Key level, vs previous high
*Entry: Key level 29.90s
*Risk: 1:3
Sympathy play with NKLA CEO step down, TSLA, and EV sector. Weak/heavy market + an overextended daily = shorting time.
Typical EV truck company with no sales and income in the toilet.
Overextended daily chart. Despite the higher short float (21.58%) and the tendency to grind up, this felt like it was coming after the breakdown from the channel around the 30.80s. No entry until after the 30.50s key level.
-Entered vs secondary key level 30.20s after the FF just under the 31s. Entered again after the 30.20s pop/VWAP fail. Stayed heavy vs the 29.80s, based a bit, one more pop, then the second big wave of flushes of the day. Considered adding into the aforementioned pop, but I decided to keep my size down, and feet on the ground.
Watched multiple fails and took off starting around the mid-low 29s. Got another chunk off at the mid 28s, and waited for more, but after the grind back up, got out the rest around 29. Left a bit on the table but hit the daily target of 25$ and enough to cover the borrows. Not bad. Aiming for more like this.
