Historical examples from the published simulation. This selection is not a win-rate sample.
A chance to go short showed up on the weekly chart about 5 weeks ago: price ran up to $19.25 — a level traders often watch as a target (361.8% of the prior move) — and has since turned back below it, the kind of rejection a short plays for.
