$45.00 was being defended and double-bottomed the previous day. I thought a reversal was coming.
I bought on the break of a trendline I drew on the 30-min chart. (Too lazy to screenshot, sorry). Although I ended up being right, I exited early and didn't commit to the play.
My entry was right after the trendline break, which is usually followed by a lot of volume. However, after 10 minutes, there really seemed to be no interest in the stock, so I exited. I zoomed out and realized that my entry was right above a big resistance area.

Thanks man. Those hidden support and resistance areas, man. Still struggling to find them sometimes. I feel like I need to take the bootcamp again.
