So my obsession with this continued. It had bee trying to break 2.80 most of the day. When It finally had a really weak bounce, I thought it might slide. So I took half a position short with a stop order for more right below recent lows. It did eventually break 2.80, in a very weak sort of way. I held it almost as long as I could, and ended up covering right before close.

While not technically overbought, it had a pretty large run yesterday that left it pretty extended on the daily. It had a chance to keep going this morning and couldn't. The it fell back and tested this 2.8 area 5 times throughout the day, I thought this was going to be the breaking point. My target was previous close price. Had I entered where I should have with a proper stop (HOD preferably), this would have been a productive trade.
