Entry Rationale
At entry, the closing price of 0.80 was positioned below the resistance line of 0.85 yet above the support line of 0.59, indicating consideration of a buy anticipating a rebound before the resistance breakout.
Aprea Therapeutics records second consecutive surge, jumping another 22%
An announcement was made that Aprea Therapeutics continued its consecutive upward trend, with the stock rising an additional 22%.
At entry, the closing price of 0.80 was positioned below the resistance line of 0.85 yet above the support line of 0.59, indicating consideration of a buy anticipating a rebound before the resistance breakout.
If I had bought at the current price of 0.80, I would take profit if the price reaches the resistance line of 0.85, and cut losses if it drops to the support line of 0.59. (According to the REPORTING comment, if it exceeds the resistance line, upside potential is limited, and 0.59 could serve as a support line.)
RSI(14)=80.1 (overbought), Moving averages not aligned (trend unclear), Trading volume 58.12 times the 20-day average (sharp increase in trading volume), Recent 7-day price change +20.0% (price increase)
APRE gained 1.0% on 2026-08-12. Although there is no direct similarity, VEEE(2026-07-16, return 451.7%), LRCX(2026-07-06, return 346.8%), and AMD(2026-07-06, return 333.8%) are cases with high returns that can be referenced. However, these cases lack direct supporting similarity and are intended for reference based on top performance.
The prediction expected a 2.0% increase, but actual results resulted in a -18.7% loss and a FAILED determination. Although news and a surge in trading volume, 20% recent volatility, and other bullish momentum were correct, the REPORTING comment indicating an overbought signal with RSI 80.1 and limited upside after surpassing the resistance line of 0.85 was overlooked, resulting in failure to reach the stop-loss line of 0.59.
In subsequent trades, I will assign greater weight to overbought RSI and misaligned moving averages, and near resistance levels, I will refrain from entering positions or set wider stop-losses. Furthermore, since a surge in trading volume does not necessarily indicate a price increase, when the price approaches a resistance level, I will apply partial take-profit and faster stop-loss criteria.
