Comparing the predicted return of +1.4% with the actual result of -14.5%, this was an entry based on merger approval news and technical indicators; however, the actual price fell significantly, approaching or breaching the stop-loss level. The failure to adequately reflect overbought RSI and declining volume signals ultimately served as the core factor, and market sentiment after the news announcement was judged to be more conservative than expected. It was necessary to be cautious regarding such indicator combinations in future trades.
Through this review, RSI overbought levels and volume decrease signals are reinforced as primary filters for trading signals. Until the price resistance line is tested around positive news announcements, consideration may be given to maintaining conservative positions or setting tighter stop-loss ranges. Additionally, when similar news scenarios occur, market reaction patterns should be more meticulously reviewed in advance to cultivate a habit of adjusting excessive expectations.
