Entry was considered as the stock showed a rebound from an oversold territory with an RSI of 20.8, accompanied by a CEO's large-scale share purchase and trading volume increasing to 1.31 times the 20-day average.
Capitalize on the rebound from the RSI oversold territory to take profit upon reaching the $3.66 resistance level, and cut losses if the support level at the 20-day low of $2.74 is breached.
At the time of entry, technical indicators show an RSI(14) of 20.8 (oversold territory), unaligned moving averages, trading volume at 1.31 times the 20-day average, and a -3.3% rate of change over the past 7 days.
Based on the CEO's $29.9 million stock purchase, the oversold condition with an RSI of 20.8, and increased trading volume (1.31 times the 20-day average), a short-term rebound was predicted. However, the actual result failed, hitting the stop-loss level with a -11.1% return. It was overlooked that expectations of a short-term rebound driven by individual positive news were insufficient to defend against the structural downtrend, particularly given the prevailing downward pressure characterized by unaligned moving averages and a -3.3% volatility rate over the past 7 days.
Even if technical indicators are in the oversold territory, a bearish downtrend phase with moving averages in a non-aligned order requires a more conservative approach to short-term rebounds driven by favorable news. In similar phases going forward, I will make entry decisions by more strictly verifying not only the temporary reaction to individual positive factors, but also whether the overall trend has achieved a bull-market alignment.
