Bounce off the 9 EMA
I knew this was slightly a risky trade because the stock was extended, so I didn't risk much. I went long as it bounce off the 9 EMA and then crossed the little flat top it was making. I should have sold some in the spike around 18.75 and closed the rest even.
I got stopped as it crossed back over the EMAs, but that was definitely a mistake because it was still at support - the VWAP. Any additional thoughts?

Like you said it was still on support. No reason to sell.
