Daily:
Price level at 20.04.
Since June 15, price has not been able to close above. Stock in downtrend.
50 EMA at 18.00, possibly resistance if stock opens below.
Intraday:
Premarket sold off on light volume to below prior day after hours close. Price below daily 50 ema.
This trade was a chase and a revenge trade. I had just taken a loss on my initial attempt at an ORBD and stopped out late. I then tried to flip my position at 17.53, which was foolish. I stubbornly held (or felt paralyzed) until it dropped back to 17.
Areas of improvement
Going long was the wrong move. Price was extended from the 9 ema already, and the 9:45am 5 min candle had a longer upper wick, indicating weakness. The following candle was a hanging man, and the next candle was a shooting star, all of which indicated strong weakness.
During this rally, volume was also dropping, further indicating weakness.
REMEMBER: When you make a bad trade, exit immediately!
By rushing this trade and acting on impulse, I missed a great opportunity to go short at the 50 ema resistance, where I could have exited at LOD.
