Trade Journal: Short $GSX - Inside Day/Support Failure - 4/6/20

6 Nis 2020

Friday, GSX experienced heavy selling throughout the day with a nearly 15% drawdown by the end of day. Throughout the bear market, GSX has been resilient and is considered relatively strong compared to other sector stocks. This changed however when GSX clearly broke a support level at 34.50 on heavy volume Friday. Despite the bullish price action in the markets, today's inside day candlestick reflects the continued selling in GSX. This is an very opportunistic time to get short GSX for a possible flush on low risk.


The 30m timeframe also reflects the bearish price action in GSX as price broke below and rejected the support at 34.50.

Entry - 33.78
Stop loss - 35.04
Target - 25

Got stopped out this morning at 32.90. Looks like GSX might retest the breakout area. I'll keep watching, might be an area to re-add on Monday.
