The current price is 438.14, positioned between the support and resistance levels, indicating a point where we can expect a test of the resistance level upon a future breakout.
If the upward trend continues and reaches or tests the resistance level of 445.87, I will consider taking profits. Conversely, if selling pressure increases and the support level of 401.58 is breached, I will respond with a stop-loss.
RSI(14) is 66.6, moving averages are in a non-aligned arrangement, trading volume is 1.39 times the 20-day average, and the recent 7-day volatility is +3.4%.
The forecasted return was set conservatively at 2.1%, but the actual result recorded was 10.1%, resulting in an OVERHIT designation. At the time of entry, the price of 438.14 was positioned between the support level (401.58) and the resistance level (445.87), allowing for the possibility of upward pressure and resistance testing. However, due to the dilution risk from the 424B5 filing, a short-term profit target was established. As a result, with trading volume 1.39 times the 20-day average and sharp volatility, the upward momentum was significantly stronger than expected, leading to performance that greatly exceeded the targeted profit-taking range.
In this trading strategy, we have set a conservative profit range considering risk factors (such as disclosures); however, it demonstrates the need to more flexibly follow market momentum when a strong trend is established. In future scenarios of similar breakout phases, we will not only assess the simple midpoint between support and resistance levels but also consider the accompanying increase in trading volume and the flow of themes to adjust our profit-taking targets upward more flexibly in the next trades.
