looks pretty oversold, but keep in mind any trade here is like trying
to catch a falling knife. It’s trading right above its 200-day moving
average.
Please
note that while there are strong trends, one bar or a series of bars
forming a setup can sometimes indicate a contra move for the next day.
This contra move may not be long-lasting — maybe only for a day or
two. Trading with the main trend is always the highest probability
trade.
Remember,
use stops on all your trades.
