We are considering entering to capitalize on the short-term momentum, having observed a sharp volatility of +28.1% over the past 7 days and a trading volume that is 2.01 times the 20-day average.
In a highly volatile market, I will take partial profits if the target price of $2.58 is reached, and I will confirm losses and respond conservatively if it falls below the stop-loss price of $1.45.
The technical indicators at the entry point show an RSI(14) of 57.5, a non-aligned moving average, a trading volume 2.01 times the 20-day average, and a recent 7-day volatility of +28.1%.
1) VEEE (return 451.7%), 2) LRCX (return 346.8%), 3) AMD (return 333.8%) cases are used for reference as top performers in the region, although there is no direct similarity basis.
Initially, I entered the position expecting short-term momentum based on a recent 7-day volatility of +28.1% and a trading volume that reached 2.01 times the 20-day average. However, the actual result recorded a loss of -13.4%, resulting in a FAILED rating. The fact that the moving averages were in a non-aligned state and that I relied solely on the volatility trend weakened the downside protection.
Volatility trading during the non-aligned period has confirmed that it can lead to a larger-than-expected decline. In the future, we will more rigorously assess whether the moving averages are aligned, avoid entries that are overly focused on short-term trading volume surges, and prioritize risk management as our foremost trading principle.
